The Department of Human Resources and Social
Development, also referred to as Human Resources and Social Development
Canada, is the department of the Government of Canada responsible for
developing, managing and delivering programs and services that provide
Canadians with income support, skill development opportunities, labour
market and other information, as well as many other tools that help
Canadians to thrive economically and socially.
HRSDC.gc.ca's
mission is to build a stronger and more
competitive Canada, to support Canadians in making choices that help them
live productive and rewarding lives, and to improve Canadians’ quality of
life.
The programs and services offered by the
Department affect the lives of millions of Canadians. This includes income
support to Canadians through benefits that Parliament has legislated, such
as Old Age Security and the Canada Pension Plan. Through Employment
Insurance, temporary income support and access to employment programs and
services are provided to unemployed Canadians to help them prepare for, find
and retain employment. By encouraging skills development in Canadian
workplaces and by developing and disseminating information about the labour
market, the Department helps Canadian businesses and workers connect. HRSDC
also invests in learning by facilitating access to post-secondary education
and adult learning opportunities. HRSDC’s social policies and programs help
to ensure that children and families, seniors, people with disabilities,
homeless people and those at risk of homelessness, and others facing
barriers have the support and information they need to improve their
well-being.
Through the Labour Program the Department promotes and sustains stable
industrial relations and healthy, fair, productive workplaces within the
federal jurisdiction. In support of these goals, the Labour program mediates
labour disputes, works to keep compliance operations modern and responsive,
negotiates and implements international labour standards and agreements,
collaborates closely with provincial and territorial ministries of Labour,
and carries out labour-related research and analysis.
Through Service Canada, the Department provides citizens with a one-stop
window to government services and information in over 600 points of service
across the country. Service Canada delivers a growing number of services and
benefits on behalf of HRSDC and other federal departments and agencies.
The Department delivers some $87 billion in programs and services and has
some 24,000 employees. Approximately 19,000 employees work under the Service
Canada banner.
To do this, HRSDC
people:
-
create programs and
support initiatives that help Canadians move through life’s
transitions—from families with children to seniors, from school to
work, from one job to another, from unemployment to employment, from
the workforce to retirement;
-
engage our employees,
establish a healthy work environment, nurture a culture of teamwork,
and build our leadership capacity.
We are committed to
excellence in what we do:
For People - as we serve
Canadians with a focus on accountability and results.
Through Partnerships -
as we work with Canadians to find innovative ways to develop and
deliver the policies and programs they need.
Through Knowledge -
generating, contributing, and sharing knowledge effectively to support
and inform decision-making.
