THE PROGRAM

The Provincial Human Capital Management System (HCMS) Program will implement Workday software across seven BC health organizations: Fraser Health, Interior Health, Island Health, Northern Health, Provincial Health Services Authority, Providence Health Care, and Vancouver Coastal Health.
