Living Our Values: A New Resource to Support Ethical Leadership
Public service values are the foundation of trust and integrity in our work, but how do we support new team members in understanding what that looks like day to day? A new course from the Canada School of Public Service, Living Our Values: Navigating the Important Role of Public Servants (FON310), offers managers and teams a space to reflect on shared values, explore real-world scenarios, and engage in meaningful dialogue.
Managers who piloted the course found it especially valuable for onboarding and team learning, recommending it as a resource to reinforce ethical leadership. This course deepens understanding of how values guide the work of public servants and can help managers frame these concepts for their teams.
With its official launch on July 7, it’s a great learning opportunity to share with your team. Learn more here.
