Description
There has been a renewed dialogue this past year on values and ethics within the federal public service, and our role in serving Canadians through respect for democracy, respect for people, stewardship, integrity and excellence. These values and ethics are also an essential foundation to advancing the Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity and Inclusion in the Federal Public Service.
Hosted by the Clerk of the Privy Council, this two -day event will explore how the public service has been reinvigorating the commitment to public service values and ethics, how this commitment links to the Call to Action, what it means in our day-to-day work, and how we need to position for the future.
Participants will be introduced to new and emerging tools and practices to further embed public service values and ethics in our work, and speakers will share their perspectives on some of the challenges and opportunities we face as public servants in a changing context.
