Description
Recent studies reveal that many Black employees are affected by racial bias, systemic racism and discrimination in the workplace. These barriers can negatively affect their experiences and hinder their career advancement, putting them at a greater disadvantage than other racialized groups.
In support of the Clerk of the Privy Council's Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion in the Federal Public Service and in recognition of the International Decade for People of African Descent, the Canada School of Public Service is presenting three events focusing on key stages of the employment process: recruitment, career advancement, and retention.
This final event in a three-part series will focus on the retention and meaningful engagement of Black federal public servants and how to contribute to an equitable and supportive workplace where all employees feel valued. Participants will learn about the factors that can adversely affect Black public servants and panellists will share practical tools and strategies for hiring managers, HR specialists and leaders to use in removing barriers and creating a climate of trust, belonging and equity for employees of African descent. A Q&A session will follow the panel discussion.
This event is part of the Canada School of Public Service's Anti-Racism Event Series. It is presented in partnership with the Black Executives Network, the Federal Black Employee Caucus, and the Department of Justice Canada, as well as the Black Employees Networks at Health Canada and Shared Services Canada.
