Services include a legislative compliance gap analysis and register, governance and accountability frameworks, leadership alignment and strategic planning, physical and psychosocial hazard identification and risk management, incident investigation and corrective action processes, stakeholder consultation and culture development, role-specific training and competency frameworks, PHS integration into HR and return-to-work processes, and performance measurement with KPIs, dashboards and continual improvement tools. Deliverables are implementation-ready and editable in Microsoft Office and include assessment reports, policies, procedures, governance frameworks, training materials, an integrated 12-month implementation roadmap, a multi-year maturity roadmap and a final integrated documentation package. The contractor must provide a blended Canadian-based team with subject-matter experts, perform services onsite at WCB facilities as required, provide draft deliverables for WCB review, maintain workers compensation coverage for workers providing services in Manitoba, and demonstrate relevant experience and client references; the initial period is expected to be one year with a preferred October 2026 start and an option to extend up to six months.
