'It's horrifying,' Lukes said. 'Big changes are going to going to be occurring, I can assure you of that. I can assure the residents of that.'

from the City of Winnipeg’s auditor has found gaps in reporting in numerous areas, including staff training, key performance measures, and employee productivity.

“One of the things that we have the ability to do is to build a strong workforce, a strong team, and this report reflects that that’s not been happening,” said Janice Lukes, City Councillor for Waverley West.According to the audit, staff salaries and benefits made up 52 per cent of the City’s 2022 operating expenses. The audit also notes that despite implementing a Continuous Monitoring program for overtime in 2021, there is no one who reviews its effectiveness.

The audit includes 13 recommendations to the CAO and Human Resources Services . They include developing policy on performance review processes, ensuring Key Performance Indicators align with the City’s Corporate Strategic Plan, and creating a process for documenting employee training.“We knew it was going to be inconsistent, and a bit of a patchwork of practices,” he said.
