🔥 A “must-read” for all my #GC Tweeps! #PSACstrike #CanLab #MentalHealth #LeadersGC👇🏻 More money for Canada’s public service workers won’t cure an unhappy workplace theconversation.com/more-money-for…

From bookkeepers to lighthouse keepers: What striking federal workers actually do. “The workers on the line right now are just everyday people trying to make a living, they’re not rich.” pressprogress.ca/from-bookkeepe… #cdnpoli #canlab

@RobButler I picked verification because it can be used as a tool to increase trust and transparency. It's a quick win that is commonly used today. Trust and transparency are a must and important but I'm not sure these three are playing in the same ball game - features vs sentiment.

HAVE YOUR SAY: Is it fair for the federal government to compel public service workers to return to the office part-time? ottawa.ctvnews.ca/community/polls

I found an article from Sept 10, 2013, a leadership piece on The Evolution of Work published by @Forbes. It seems like this is the way we’ve been working for the past 2.5 years. The “future” WAS “now.” forbes.com/sites/jacobmor…

@JustinTrudeau Que pensez-vous de l'annonce concernant le retour au travail? Beaucoup ont choisi le travail à distance pour meilleure collaboration, un équilibre travail/vie personnelle et la productivité. Il ne devrait pas s'agir de choix ou de fonctions professionnelles? *Opinions personelles

Si vous avez une question à me poser, c’est le moment de le faire. Il suffit de répondre à ce gazouillis, puis de rester à l’écoute!

@JustinTrudeau What do you think of the TBS announcement of a blanket policy on public servants' return to the office? Many chose remote jobs for better productivity, collaboration across the country and work life balance. Shouldn't it be a choice and/or based on job duties?(Personal opinions)

If you’ve got a question for me, now’s the time to ask it. Send it in by replying to this post – and then stay tuned!

@LeadersGC #GCLeaders A1. Focus on value-added work for in-person. Don't replace all interactions with emails, keep the human side. Practice respecting boundaries by messaging before you call. Plan social meetings in addition to work-related ones. #HybridWork

Here we go! (Remember to answer with "A1" and #HybridWork #LeadersGC) 💡 Q1 What are the best ways in a hybrid model to engage with team members, both in the office and working remotely from home?

Confirmation bias is twisting the facts to fit your beliefs. Critical thinking is bending your beliefs to fit the facts. Seeking the truth is not about validating the story in your head. It's about rigorously vetting and accepting the story that matches the reality in the world.

I can't wait for my first @fwd50conf experience. I've heard so many great things from colleagues! Who else is going? #government #innovation #gcdigital

1/2 #DYK? Following the launch of the Federal #2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan, the #GC has now adopted the 2SLGBTQI+ acronym and encourages its use across the federal government as a more inclusive term. The change was in response to 2SLGBTQI+ communities’ call for an updated acronym.
