Government Services - Overview

The Ministry of Government Services plays an important role in the delivery of public services to the people of Ontario.

The Ministry is committed to delivering high-quality services – both for the public and the ministries it supports across the Ontario Public Service (OPS). The ministry is working hard to transform how it does business and deliver more inclusive and effective services for the 13 million Ontarians who rely on its efforts.

The Ministry of Government Services supports the important work of all Ontario ministries through corporate resources and services. This includes:

  • helping to manage human resource services, support and recruitment
  • providing cost-effective business services through financial and non-tax revenue processing, payroll and benefits processing and administration, and supply chain management
  • managing information and information technology services including improvements to OPS technology and security
  • ensuring private information is secure and records are properly stored to preserve Ontario’s rich history

The Ministry also delivers services to the public by:

  • promoting employment opportunities through internship and student programs
  • collecting, managing, preserving and promoting Ontario government records
  • managing the Archives of Ontario including its collections of historical records and other holdings
  • issuing Certificates of Authentication to the general public for documents intended for international use
  • enabling Ontario’s broader public sector to increase efficiency and maximize support for these vital public services
  • managing the OntarioBuys program, which supports a wide range of projects in healthcare, education, colleges and universities, and community and social service organizations

The 2014-15 Results-based Plan outlines two new initiatives that will focus on improved governance and accountability.

  • First, Ontario’s Open Government initiative will focus on creating a more accessible and transparent organization. It will increase the public’s access to government data and information, provide opportunities for public engagement and support an innovative business climate
  • Second, the ministry will help ensure that compensation for agencies, BPS organizations and public sector executives is aligned with the government’s fiscal plan and provides value for money

The 2014-15 Results-based Plan also builds on the ministry’s transformational activities. The ministry continues to:

  • play a key role in shaping the outcome of collective bargaining negotiations
  • implement an Information Technology initiative that will drive further efficiencies and savings by rationalizing services and making better use of government assets
  • migrate the Public Safety Radio Network from the existing analog system to a digital platform. This network directly supports 36,000 emergency responders across the province and helps deliver mission critical services to citizens and visitors
  • further explore efficiencies and cost savings in the delivery of Information Technology and Human Resource services to the OPS
  • provide prudent fiscal oversight to its agencies, boards and commissions

All of these initiatives reflect the ministry’s commitment to provide the best service in the most cost effective manner to better serve Ontarians. The ministry’s objectives are summarized in its mission statement.

Employee and Pensioner Benefits (Employer Share) Program

The Employee and Pensioner Benefits (Employer Share) Program provides for the government’s expenses as an employer for insured benefits, statutory programs, non-insured benefits and certain public service pension plans including third party administration and adjudication costs. The expenses are based on changes in the accrued liabilities of the government as sponsor or co-sponsor of certain insured benefit plans, pension plans and termination of employment entitlements.

Tracking our progress with the following performance measures helps to ensure that our goals are met and that we continuously find ways to improve:

Ontario Shared Services – gathers and uses informal feedback from clients to continuously improve their services. The team is also developing an OPS-wide customer satisfaction measure for future improvement efforts.

Getting feedback from employees through the OPS Employee Survey

The Ministry helps the OPS deliver quality public services by attracting, recruiting and retaining a skilled, diverse and engaged work force.

We want to improve employees’ job satisfaction and commitment to the organization. To do that we need to understand how employees feel about working in the OPS, what drives their level of engagement, and how we can keep improving the overall OPS work environment.

The Ministry does this through the OPS Employee Survey. The 2014 OPS Employee Survey took place between February and March 2014. Results and analysis will be available by September 2014. Historical results of the OPS employee engagement score are illustrated in the table below.

OPS/ employee engagement score, historical: 2007 = 65.98, 2009 = 72.472011 = 69.21

Our I&IT staff also provide support to the broader public sector.
  • Shared services that enable cost savings by leveraging scale and consistency across programs. Ontario Shared Services provides OPS-wide employee and business support services, including financial processing and collections, supply chain management, payroll management and processing, and benefits administration.
  • Ontario Shared Services also provides payroll processing to external clients such as selected agencies and benefits administration for employees on Long-Term Income Protection.

ServiceOntario - Overview

ServiceOntario plays an important role in the delivery of government services for the people of Ontario. It functions as both a public-facing organization and an enterprise service provider.

ServiceOntario is an established leader in customer service, achieving a high level of trust and brand awareness among customers and partners. The 2014-15 Results-based Plan builds on these strengths. Looking ahead, the organization is exploring how it can be a driver of service innovation more broadly across the Ontario Public Service (OPS) and beyond. At the same time, ServiceOntario is maintaining a clear focus on key priorities: providing exceptional customer service, value for tax dollars and maintaining program integrity.

2013-14 Annual Report - Government Services

The Ministry of Government Services continued to deliver on its priorities to simplify how things get done, save time and money, provide valuable and responsive services, support accountability, increase transparency and deliver high quality services to Ontarians. A number of initiatives have been completed this year to deliver better value for taxpayers.

As part of the Open Government initiative, an integrated team has been established to deliver strategies for an open and engaged government. Information datasets are available to the public in open, standardized, machine-readable format at no cost. Citizens can access and use these datasets for creative or commercial purposes under the open data licence. Work is underway to expand the number of high value datasets available within the centralized data catalogue. Sharing more government information and data with the public will improve public accountability and transparency and contribute to improved government service delivery.

The Ministry continued work on the Information Technology Rationalization initiative this year in response to the Drummond Commission and commitments made in the 2013 Provincial Budget. This four year initiative will drive efficiencies and savings by rationalizing services and making better use of government assets. This fiscal year the initiative has successfully closed four Data centres, realized $3M savings by consolidating software, provided access for some public sector organizations to utilize the Guelph Data Centre, and piloted the use of cloud computing services. Over the next year, another ten Data Centres will be closed and the use of cloud computing services is expected to be expanded.

Supply Chain Ontario (SCO) continuous improvement program has improved processes that are benefitting ministries and vendors:

  • procurement evaluation processes have been streamlined to use ministry evaluators more effectively and reduce the complexity of vendor submissions
  • length of the procurement process has been reduced to ensure consistent service delivery to ministry buyers
  • pain points identified by vendor focus groups have been addressed such as improving access to procurement opportunities, standardizing procurement abstracts, and improving communication processes with buyers

SCO is sharing these lessons learned across the OPS through shared services organizations in health care and education.

The VOR program for purchasing goods and services continues to achieve significant benefits for government. For example, the new Mobile Services and Devices VOR arrangement consolidates businesses under a single provider and focuses on paying only for what is used. This ten year VOR arrangement will significantly reduce user monthly service bills and is expected to reduce costs over the contract term. For laboratory gases, the VOR arrangement discounts prices by approximately 70 per cent compared to market prices.

To support long-term procurement modernization initiatives, an electronic procurement strategy is being implemented that will provide an integrated end-to-end procurement cycle, further streamline procurement processes in the OPS and reduce costs and administrative burden on vendors.

The Government continued to receive positive recognition as an employer in 2013. The OPS was recognized as:

  • Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for the sixth year in a row
  • Greater Toronto Area’s Top Employers for the fifth year
  • Canada’s Greenest Employers for the fourth consecutive year
  • Best Employers for New Canadians for the third consecutive year and
  • Canada’s Top Employers for Young People

MGS continued to attract top talent from diverse backgrounds to the OPS and attracted over 5500 youth and new professionals through specialized employment programs:

  • 38 internship placements for newcomers to Canada
  • 143 placements for recent graduates through the Ontario Internship Program
  • 139 work placements for youth in the OPS Learn and Work Program in Toronto, Windsor, Thunder Bay and Hamilton, with a focus on encouraging high school students to earn credits towards their high school diploma
  • 3,546 summer students were hired through the Summer Experience Program

MGS has continued to improve the recruitment process by reducing barriers in the hiring process. In 2013-14 a learning program was delivered to Deputy Ministers that focused on personal biases and their impact on recruitment activities. The program’s goals were to increase the participant’s ability to identify and mitigate the impact personal biases have on recruitment decisions and leverage the practices of the OPS Executive Recruitment Inclusion Lens introduced into the organization in the previous year. Similar bias awareness training has been delivered to various ministries’ senior executive teams.

To support the Ministry’s mandate to simplify, serve and save, the Corporate Policy and Agency Coordination was launched to provide integrated support to ministries seeking approvals for procurement, Information Technology projects, staffing resources and provide policy direction with respect to governance, accountability and oversight of the government’s classified agencies. In addition, MGS worked with the Ministry of Finance to revise the authorities of decision making bodies such as the Supply Chain Leadership Council and IT Project Approval Committee. Ministries will benefit by being able to move forward more quickly on their business priorities while continuing to ensure strong accountability.

Five Point Plan

A “Five Point Plan” was developed to enhance classified agency governance and accountability. The plan includes mandate reviews for all agencies every seven years, mandatory training for agency appointees and the consolidation and updating of the directives governing classified agencies. In support of its drive for greater agency accountability, MGS released its “Guide to Governance for Board-Governed Classified Agencies” and created a new business unit focused on developing forward looking strategic initiatives to strengthen the governance framework of classified agencies.

Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion

With the launch of the OPS’ second three-year inclusion strategy, efforts continued to support corporate leadership in workplace diversity, accessibility and inclusion by ensuring decision-makers and policy experts were equipped to incorporate inclusion based outcomes into OPS policies, programs and services. In addition to developing annual accessibility plans, ministries have submitted three-year plans outlining the steps they will take to make their workplaces, programs and policies even more inclusive. These plans along with key initiatives such as the OPS Inclusion Lens, the Executive Recruitment Lens, and Accessibility at Source are helping ministries further their inclusion goals by considering barriers and accessibility before undertaking policy and program initiatives.

Recognition was received for Accessibility at Source which is a campaign that provides practical information for OPS employees on how to embed accessibility into their day to day work, through a bronze award in the prestigious 2014 The Institute of Public Administration of Canada/Deloitte Public Sector Leadership Awards.

Information, Privacy and Archives

Information, Privacy and Archives continued to promote public access to Ontario’s historic documents and records and has increased public access in the following areas:

  • 232,585 entries were added to the Archives Descriptive Database, the online guide to the archival holdings of the Archives of Ontario, providing the public with online descriptions of the collection
  • Increased free on-site educational workshops with over 40 workshops provided this year to Ontario’s teachers and students, which more than quadruples the workshops run since 2009
  • A new web series was launched this year to increase online exposure to the Government of Ontario Art Collection
  • Collaborated with Ministry of Natural Resources to digitize 30,000 new images and add 100,000 photo identification points to increase customer access to Black and White Aerial Photography collection where customers can find digitized images, and order them for viewing or reproduction

Environmental sustainability

The ministry also continued to provide leadership in reducing the environmental impact of OPS operations. Efforts to date have resulted in significant reductions in travel spending, fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions through smarter travel (e.g. teleconferencing, videoconferencing, etc.), improvements to government fleets and the diversion of e-waste. Since 2006/07, travel spending has decreased by approximately $21 million.

In addition, 6.7 million litres of fuel has been saved with the use of more fuel efficient vehicles, right sizing the fleet and increasing the use of vehicle pools. Approximately 1,888 tonnes of e-waste has been recycled and diverted from landfills since 2007, and 93,326 batteries were recycled through the OPS Battery Program in 2013-14. The Ministry played a key role in the OPS achievement as one of Canada’s greenest employers for 2013 by setting targets to enable greener business practices and by building a green workplace culture through employee outreach and engagement.

The ministry is committed to embedding environmental sustainability into the workplace culture. In an effort to engage and support employees across the OPS to take steps to go green, the Ministry launched the OPS Green Workplace Guide this year. The Guide is a resource for all employees, and offers tips and tools on how employees can green their workplace and includes topics such as: print avoidance, office supplies, transportation, kitchens and employee engagement. In addition, more than 7,300 employees have used the OPS Print and Travel Calculators, which allow staff to calculate the cost and environmental impact of printing and travelling.

ServiceOntario

ServiceOntario is the customer-centred gateway for government services in Ontario. It delivers more than 85 services across 10 lines of business. Individuals and businesses in Ontario can access these services in-person at its network of nearly 300 centres province-wide, online, by mail and over the telephone. Last year, ServiceOntario handled approximately 47 million transactions including: driver and vehicle licensing; health card services; hunting and fishing licensing; and requests for government publications. ServiceOntario offers money-back guarantees for on-time delivery of online requests. In 2013-14 ServiceOntario met its online service guarantees more than 99 per cent of the time.

Improving service delivery

In September 2013, ServiceOntario introduced online driver’s licence renewal. The first of its kind in Canada, the service makes it easier for eligible Ontario drivers to renew their licence online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As of March 2014, more than 99,000 transactions were successfully completed at ServiceOntario.ca/DriversLicence. As an added feature, drivers who renew online are able to use their existing licence photos for an additional five-year renewal cycle. That means they only need to travel to a ServiceOntario centre to renew in-person every 10 years.

ServiceOntario is working with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services to improve service delivery for the private security industry in Ontario. In April 2013, ServiceOntario began offering online licensing applications and telephone customer service to security guards and private investigators in Ontario. Applicants can now apply for or renew a licence online, rather than by mail, making the process faster and more convenient. Applicants can also check the status of their applications online. As of March 2014, more than 60,000 customer service calls were received and more than 23,000 security guard and private investigator applications were processed. In 2014, ServiceOntario expanded the service and began offering online licensing for agencies that sell the services of security guards and private investigators in Ontario.

ServiceOntario strives to be at the forefront of service delivery, continually monitoring service levels and customer satisfaction. In 2013, 95 per cent of ServiceOntario centres achieved average wait times of less than 15 minutes, improving on the 93 per cent benchmark set in 2012. A 2013 in-person customer satisfaction survey found that 89 per cent of customers were satisfied with the service they received.

An important element of exceptional service is identifying and eliminating any potential obstacles that could negatively impact customer experience. At ServiceOntario centres, photo exemptions for health cards and driver’s licences are available for individuals who have valid religious objections to having a photo taken. Accommodations can also be made for individuals to have their photos taken in a private room. ServiceOntario complies with all accessibility legislation, including the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation. This includes: ensuring counter and online services are available in an alternate format upon request; introducing products with special accessibility features and continuing to monitor ServiceOntario centres across the province to identify and remove potential barriers.

ServiceOntario has put in place an active offer protocol at all of its centres. Customer service representatives actively offer assistance to customers who appear to have a disability or difficulty. This ensures people who appear to have a disability or difficulty are made aware of service alternatives to make their visits easier and more accessible.

In 2013, ServiceOntario completed the roll out of Ontario Photo Card services at all of its centres. The card gives a photo identification option to the 1.5 million people in Ontario who do not have a driver’s licence. This includes people who have a disability that prevents them from driving and seniors and students who do not drive. The card features a clipped corner and raised lettering to help persons with visual disabilities distinguish it from other cards. By the end of 2013, more than 143,000 Ontario Photo Cards had been issued.

Through ServiceOntario, the government has undertaken a number of initiatives to promote and enhance organ and tissue donor registration in Ontario, including the launch of an online donor registration service in 2011. ServiceOntario continues to promote organ donation on its social media channels and posters and brochures about organ donation are displayed at in-person centres. In 2013, ServiceOntario increased its efforts to promote organ donation, with customer service representatives taking a more active role. When customers renew their health card, driver’s licence or Ontario Photo Card they are advised of the organ donation program and asked if they would like to register. By the end of 2013, more than three million people in Ontario had registered as an organ donor in-person at a ServiceOntario centre or through the online donor registry.

ServiceOntario continues to convert red and white health cards to the more secure photo cards on an ongoing basis. Additionally, ServiceOntario is working closely with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to step up efforts and eliminate all red and white health cards. This 2013 Ontario Budget initiative is expected to be completed by 2018.

ServiceOntario is a recognized public sector leader in service integration. The organization continues to collaborate with partners to leverage its core strengths. Its future focus is on advancing an integrated government-wide approach to support broader service transformation. This includes the provision of enterprise services to Ontario government ministries and municipalities to maximize value and deliver faster and more convenient services to the people of Ontario.
