Human Resources

The KFN Human Resources department plays an integral role in the KFN Community Plan to develop and strengthen Kahkewistahaw First Nation. We aim to support our Members as they gain employment and build expertise while we collectively work towards the sustainability and growth of our Nation.

As Kahkewistahaw First Nation continues to progress, so to does the scope of the KFN Human Resources department. We are committed to the fulfillment of legislative and delegated responsibilities for recruitment, compensation, pension and benefits, employee development, health and labour relations. These programs ensure our workforce is supported and able to meet the challenges facing our community.

The HR department follows protocol outlined in the Kahkewistahaw First Nation Employment Policy and Procedures Manual to ensure all staff members are treated in a fair, equitable manner. Other documents in place include the Strategic Plan; Committee, Governance, Information Management, and Finance Policies; salary scale; and organizational chart.

We continue to improve upon our communication processes, and value feedback from all Members.
