What we do
The idea of offering improved learning and educational opportunities to all staff evolved into reality through a group of enthusiastic civil servants seeking to better the quality of services provided by the government.
- Promote pride and awareness in the civil service through the Manitoba Service Excellence Awards (MSEA), which recognize individuals and teams within the Manitoba Government who go the extra mile and excel in the workplace and the community.
- Provide learning and networking opportunities through the popular Brown Bag Lunch program. These informal networking sessions feature presentations of internal success stories, updates on current initiatives and topics of general interest.
- Provide Learning Opportunities for SQP volunteers with seminars on topics related to service quality such as Performance Management/Leadership and Tools and Techniques of Quality.
- Showcase Manitoba Government employees who have been nominated for the Manitoba Service Excellence Awards for their contributions of leadership, innovation, service excellence, community service, partnership, and the Premier’s Career Achievement through the SQP Spotlight.
- Assist Manitoba Government employees outside Winnipeg to develop local community-centered and community-run SQP programs through Rural and Northern Initiatives.
- Co-sponsor special events in conjunction with the City of Winnipeg and the Federal Manitoba Manager's Network.
- Sponsor QUIRC, the Quality & Innovation Resource Centre which offers books, videos, reports and quality service success stories for government employees who want to know more about the worldwide quality and innovation movement. The QUIRC collection is located at the Legislative Library, Main Floor 200 Vaughan Street, Winnipeg, R3C 1T5.
