Competency Based Performance Management Toolkit for Public Health
In 2008-2009, through a HealthForceOntario grant, OPHA — in partnership with Hamilton Public Health Services, Toronto Public Health, the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit, and the Thunder Bay District Health Unit — developed a Competency Based Performance Management Toolkit for Public Health.
This toolkit was designed and developed in consultation and collaboration with consultants with expertise in competency based performance management, pilot tested and validated by public health professionals. The toolkit can be used in its ready-to-go format in its entirety or as individual pieces, and can be modified to meet the unique needs of individual public health units.
