STATEMENT OF POLICY
CBC/Radio-Canada supports employee learning, development and performance to encourage individual contribution and success, which in turn drive the culture and collective achievement of business performance and organizational outcomes.
Learning and development, as well as performance management, are the shared responsibility of managers at all levels, individual employees and the Learning and Development department.
All learning and development requirements must take into account the Corporation's overall business strategy and goals, departmental priorities and performance and developmental objectives of the employee. CBC/Radio-Canada funds its learning and development activities through the Learning and Development Fund.
The manager and the employee must formally discuss individual learning and development opportunities. All learning and development activities and their related costs (when applicable) must be agreed upon, approved and tracked in conjunction with the Learning and Development department.
