Schedule Date Topic Speakers Resources Recordings September 19, 2023 Learning Plans and Performance Agreements You should be meeting with your direct supervisor at least twice a year to review your performance and personal goals. Your learning plan supports your performance by ensuring you have the skills you need to do your current role and prepare for the next one. More than signing the paperwork, you need to have the discussion about where you are and your intentions moving forward. Come with your questions on learning plans and performance appraisals. Speakers: Nathalie Faucon Lucy Ellis Gavin McIntosh Moderator: Vanessa Dullabh Performance management for employees Employee self-assessment Behavioural indicators for core competencies Strategically Building Your Learning Plan to Connect to Needs Official Language tips for Public Servants Learning Paths October 17, 2023 Staffing and HR You have a job in the GC so everyone around you assumes you understand the process but that’s not necessarily the case. Moving within the public service can happen through a variety of processes and mechanisms that many individuals don’t know about. Come ask our panel about hiring, job mobility, and other HR-related topics. Speakers: Jennifer MacPhee Joshua Frame Line Landry Moderator: Marcus Wong November 14, 2023 Networking and GC Communities You have likely heard FYN say that Networking is the key to career development. When you sit alone at home or at an office, it can be hard to meet people and build relationships. Ask our speakers where they meet people, how they approach colleagues virtually, and which communities you can join to bring the best of yourself to work. Speakers: Sarah Scott Jose Jiminez Amanda Bernardo Moderator: Khadeja Elsibai December 12, 2023 Ask Us Anything All-Stars! By now, we should have answered all your questions but, if not, bring them on. (be sure to watch the past sessions so you come prepared with fresh questions) Nothing is off limits; hit us with your best questions!
