ESDC- Starting/Expanding a Family - Sara Kim

Presentation deck: Starting/Expanding a Family

• We want to discuss how to best engage with departments such as HC, CRA and IRCC to identity most relevant links
• Looking for program experts
• Context:
  • Focusing on expecting parents and parents, what information they need:
    • Benefit programs
    • Leave
    • Register child for SIN card
    • Access health benefits etc…
• We’ve connected with several directorates in ESDC so far
• Key pain points:
  • Siloed programs and benefits
  • Information overload
  • Admin burden
  • No news is bad news - clients become anxious with no updates
  • No coordination of leave and benefits
• How we’re addressing pain points:
  • Situation simulator
  • Visual timeline board
  • Customized checklist
    • This is especially where we need help from other GC departments
  • Client stories
  • Promotional materials
  • Feedback options
• Verifying content with other government departments/SMEs - we need your validation
  • Health Canada
  • CRA
  • IRCC

A: We launch in the fall so ASAP
