== '''Professional Profiles of Black Executives''' ==
'''Context'''
The professional profiles of Black Executives is a professional profile template created by the Black Executives Network/le réseau des exécutifs noirs (BEN/REN) to highlight the existing talent of its members. This initiative, launched in 2020, is a joint effort between the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO) and the Black Executives Network (BEN).
'''About'''
The professional profiles of Black Executives are a one-pager summary of professional information about Black Executives. It highlights their qualifications, accomplishments, leadership results and provides the reader with an understanding of their career ambitions.
The professional profiles are voluntarily completed by Black executives at the EX-01 through EX-03 levels, which are compiled together and included in an e-binder to demonstrate the depth and breadth of Black executive leadership talent and to help inform succession planning, support talent mobility, and increase the representation of Black executives in the federal workforce.
'''Objective'''
The profiles are shared with deputy Heads and Heads of Human Resources in participating federal public service organizations to support the identification of diverse internal talent and to ensure that highly qualified, inclusive, and agile leaders are well placed to serve Canadians.
If you wish to voluntarily share your professional profile with OCHRO and other federal public service organizations for talent management purposes, [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/b5k3e7ebgtb94ujw0ny2v/h?dl=0&rlkey=4ko03b05zhc0mrinyiwyem29z please complete the template and sign the consent form] and send to reseaubenren@gmail.com.
== '''Identification of future Black Leaders''' ==
'''Context'''
The existence of systemic barriers and challenges have long hindered the career advancement of Black Executives. This has prompted the Black Executives Network (BEN/REN) to create an alternative method to manage Black Executive Talent through the creation and use of the professional profiles of Black Executives eBinder. This was used to highlight the existing talent of our members at the director (EX-01) through Director General (EX-03) levels and increase the representation of Black executives in the federal workforce. The Black Executive eBinder is now welcomed by the heads of departments and agencies as well as heads of Human Resources within these organizations. We know that these barriers and challenges also exist for Black individuals with management and leadership capacity below the EX level, therefore our goal with this initiative is to emulate the model used to promote and support the advancement of the Black Executives community and adapt it to the feeder groups.
'''About'''
The professional profiles of Black Talent in Feeder Groups are a one-pager summary of professional information about yourself that will be showcase to senior management to support the recruitment of new directors (EX-01) in their organizations. It highlights your qualifications, accomplishments, leadership results and provides the reader with an understanding of your career ambitions. The professional profiles are voluntarily completed by Black public servants below the EX level who are promotion ready and have been at level for more than 24 months because of systemic barriers that prevent them from being considered for the same opportunities as their peers. The profiles are compiled together and included in an e-binder to demonstrate the depth and breadth of Black talent who are ready for advancement and to help inform succession planning, support talent mobility, and increase the representation of Black individuals in the federal workforce. It also helps remove barriers for Black employees who lack managerial support by introducing their profile to other managers looking to hire talent.
'''Objective'''
The profiles are shared with executives from the Black Executives Network (BEN/REN) and other managers in the public service who are looking to diversify their teams, support the identification of diverse internal talent and to ensure that qualified, inclusive, and agile individuals are well placed to serve Canadians.
'''Process / How-to'''
Your information, such as your group and level, department, skills, experience, key accomplishments and results and more is collected through a form that you must fill out on Google Forms (a Gmail account is required). Once you submit the form and agree to a privacy clause which states that your profile will be shared with hiring managers for talent management purposes, you will receive an email with a copy of your one-pager profile as a PDF file. We will also keep a copy to add to the Professional Profiles for Black Talent in Feeder Groups electronic binder.
'''Timeline'''
The next intake of profiles will occur in Fall 2022. More details will be posted here.
