Annex C – Realigned SPAP Action Items
During the realignment process, the SPAP action items were reviewed and sorted into one of the five LoEs of the THWS. Stakeholders were then consulted to report on the status of these items to determine the phase of their implementation. In the realignment process, it was highlighted that two of the action items would be better suited under another strategy. These two action items are as follows:
- SPAP Action Item #2.6 - Operational/Occupational Selection Centres/Processes. This item has been realigned to the Defence Team Human Resources Retention Strategy.
- SPAP Action Item #6.3 - The Journey. This item has been realigned to the Canadian Armed Forces People Strategy.
Additionally, 3 action items that were realigned under the THWS were identified as complete in the 2019 CAF SPAP Annual Report. These items were assessed and it was determined whether they would continue to be monitored under the THWS. These items and the decisions made are as follows:
SPAP Action Item #1.8 – Annual Update of the CDS Guidance to Commanding Officers and their Leadership Teams.
This action item will continue to be monitored by the THWS under the strategic action item #18 - Coordinate the development of resources (i.e. toolkits, forums, advisory support) for leaders to promote a healthy work environment. As the strategic action items will begin monitoring in phase 2, this item was added to the THWS Action Planas item #18.1 and will be addressed in FY 22/23.
SPAP Action Item #5.1 – Stand Up a new CAF Transition Group (TG)
As the TG was stood up in 2019 and action items related to achieving full operational capacity of the TG are included under the THWS, this item will not be monitored by the THWS. Action items related to the continued development and outputs of the TG were identified and are included in the THWS action plan. See action items #16 – Achieve full operational capability for the CAF Return to Duty program and #31 – Achieve full operational capability for CAF TG – THWS Core Action Item in the action plan for more information.
SPAP Action Item #7.12 – Research Project: Resilience in the CANSOFCOM Community
This research project is identified as a “Completed Action Item” by the THWS as this project was completed in March 2019. The results of this study were reported as being used as OPF2 baseline data, as well as justification and direction for OPF2 program planning and implementation in the 2019 SPAP report. Through consultation with the primary OPI on this project, DGMPRA, it was confirmed that this item does not need to be tracked. See action items #41 - Optimizing Performance Force and Family (OPF 2) - CANSOFCOM Program in the action plan for further information on OPF2.
