Making contribution visible, trusted, and portable.
Contribution Exchange is an international organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, building shared infrastructure for recognizing learning and capability developed through contribution.
Through an international federation of National Contribution Exchanges, Contribution Exchange stewards common standards for work-based learning, professional practice, recognition, and quality assurance. Its systems help organizations structure, validate, and recognize learning developed through work, community, civic, cultural, and other purposeful contributions.
Contribution Exchange also stewards the Work-Based Learning Numbering System (WBLNS®) and PathLedger®, providing interoperable infrastructure to index learning standards, record verified contributions, and make trusted evidence of capability portable across organizations, sectors, and borders.
Support workforce planning, staffing, performance management, HR compliance awareness, and labour-management cooperation.
This Training Unit aggregates exactly three child Training Items:
Completion requires two naturally occurring Artifact Elements that together provide substantial evidence across the three child Training Items.
AE010 — Performance Appraisals & HR Reviews
Evidentiary purpose: Captures an HR review-related artifact showing how the participant used role expectations, workforce or staffing information, performance evidence, cooperation needs, policy considerations, and responsible judgment to support human resource management practice. The artifact may address workforce need, staffing or recruitment support, performance management, development support, incentive or compensation considerations, employment-related compliance awareness, or labour-management cooperation within the participant’s role. This Artifact Element record is designed to evidence HRM understanding, workforce and staffing awareness, performance management support, professional accountability, respectful communication, and responsiveness to human and organizational implications.
Minimum characteristics: - Identifies the workplace or civic/community setting, HR issue, workforce need, staffing need, performance review, role review, compensation/incentive consideration, cooperation issue, labour-management matter, or HRM review purpose. - Identifies role expectations, workforce requirements, staffing needs, recruitment criteria, performance expectations, contribution expectations, development expectations, cooperation requirements, or review criteria. - Identifies workforce information, staffing data, role information, performance information, feedback, policy information, legislative considerations, participation records, stakeholder input, cooperation information, labour-management information, or other source information used. - Identifies the workforce gap, staffing issue, recruitment need, performance support need, development need, compensation/incentive consideration, compliance concern, cooperation issue, labour-management concern, or dispute-resolution need. - Provides a clear, respectful, and bounded summary of the review point, HRM need, staffing implication, performance observation, support requirement, recognition consideration, or cooperation concern. - Identifies relevant human rights, diversity, equity, accessibility, privacy, health and safety, employment/labour, union-management, policy, confidentiality, fairness, role authority, or escalation considerations. - States the support action, staffing step, recruitment step, development action, performance support, recognition step, escalation, referral, monitoring need, review point, or next step. - Explains implications for cooperation, fairness, morale, safety, trust, legal/compliance awareness, labour-management relations, operational continuity, financial implications, or organizational/community outcomes. - Describes the participant’s role in preparing, supporting, documenting, communicating, reviewing, coordinating, or following up on the artifact.

Redo (R): Canonical Assessment Component selection is missing when required or does not credibly validate this Artifact Element against its reposited requirements; the Artifact Element therefore does not yet provide sufficient, attributable evidence of the reposited purpose.
Pass (P): Canonical Assessment Component selection is present when required, attributable to an eligible validator, and credibly validates this Artifact Element against its reposited requirements. Together with the Artifact Element, it supports the reposited purpose by capturing an HR review-related artifact showing how the participant used role expectations, workforce or staffing information, performance evidence, cooperation needs, policy considerations, and responsible judgment to support human resource management practice. The artifact may address workforce need, staffing or recruitment support, performance management, development support, incentive or compensation considerations, employment-related compliance awareness, or labour-management cooperation within the participant’s role. This Artifact Element record is designed to evidence HRM understanding, workforce and staffing awareness, performance management support, professional accountability, respectful communication, and responsiveness to human and organizational implications.
Distinction (D): Not reposited — optional LMO decision. Distinction is unavailable for this component unless the LMO authors and approves a D criterion.
AE003 — Project Documentation
Evidentiary purpose: Captures structured HRM action-pathway documentation showing how workforce, staffing, recruitment, performance, compliance, health and safety, equity, labour-management, cooperation, or dispute-resolution matters are coordinated through stakeholders, tasks, communication, timing, escalation, and follow-up. This Artifact Element record is designed to evidence HR issue classification, compliance and risk recognition, stakeholder alignment, labour-management cooperation, action coordination, and constructive collaboration.
Minimum characteristics: - Identifies the workforce, staffing, recruitment, onboarding, performance, development, compliance, health and safety, equity, cooperation, labour-management, dispute-resolution, escalation, or stakeholder alignment issue being addressed. - States the intended outcome, such as workforce capacity, staffing support, recruitment progress, role clarity, performance support, cooperation, participation, compliance alignment, health and safety follow-up, equity/accessibility support, development support, labour-management cooperation, issue resolution, or responsible escalation. - Identifies relevant people, role holders, contributors, supervisors, HR/governance contacts, labour-management representatives, teams, committees, volunteers, stakeholder groups, or responsible parties. - Identifies stakeholder interests, role constraints, confidentiality needs, human rights considerations, diversity/equity considerations, accessibility needs, health and safety considerations, employment or labour considerations, policy requirements, privacy issues, legal/risk implications, role authority, or escalation boundaries. - Provides a structured sequence of actions, options, communication steps, staffing steps, recruitment steps, development steps, performance support steps, compliance steps, health and safety steps, dispute-resolution steps, escalation points, approvals, referrals, or coordination actions. - Describes how communication, tone, confidentiality, respectful engagement, consultation, stakeholder alignment, shared responsibility, cooperation, or labour-management communication will be supported. - Identifies sequence, timing, priority, status, milestone, dependency, follow-up point, completion indicator, unresolved item, or escalation stage. - Identifies how progress, compliance, cooperation, role clarity, staffing action, recruitment progress, performance support, issue resolution, dispute resolution, or unresolved concerns will be monitored, documented, followed up, or escalated. - Describes the participant’s role in preparing, coordinating, communicating, documenting, monitoring, escalating, supporting, referring, or using the action pathway documentation.
