 +
Since May, 2020 the Shared Services Canada Technology Showcase team has been working in full pivot mode to deliver content relevant to GC technology users. Unable to deliver our planned in-person information sessions, we created the GC Worker Wiki to curate and share information available from across the GC.  Our focus? Remote working. As the GC workforce nationwide adapted quickly to remote working, there was much to learn. 
  
−
'''Introduction'''
+
A year later, our Remote Working wiki has had more than 5, 434 views. We have created and shared 14 different posts and each post is viewed an average of 120 times.
  
−
Working remotely and need help with adaptive computer technology or job accommodations?
+
Our very first post was on audio video conferencing back on May 6<sup>th</sup> – which offered tips to fully leverage audio and video conferencing tools. Essentially, audio and video conferencing was out path to re-creating the in person connections we were used to.  
  
−
Experts from Shared Services Canada (SSC) can help!  The Accessibility, Accommodations and Adaptive Computer Technology (AAACT) team has put together a list of top tips for accessible remote working.  
+
Flash forward 14 months and our last post focused on a deeper dive into using Teams and Microsoft 365. In fact, we did three posts on M365 alone!
  
−
AAACT supports public service employees who have disabilities, injuries or require workplace adjustments, by providing access to systems, programs, computers, training, and computer resources to help them in the workplace.  
+
Our most viewed post? Information Management last June. We all needed an important reminder about correctly storing and sharing our business information when working remotely.
  
−
The AAACT team continues to serve clients during the COVID disruption via audio and video conference, and can ship equipment directly to where you are working.  
+
Over the past 14 months we have covered topics from mental health, to team building to highlighting the best of GC social media. We have partnered with Communities of Practice – the M365 CoP and the GC Flex group and worked closely with the Canada School of Public Service. We have shared tips and support mechanisms for learning a second language when working remotely. And we have covered the depth and breadth of SSC’s accessibility support and tools program; which has become even more important while we are away from the office.
  
−
'''Contact AAACT!'''
+
If you have not yet read through these posts, take a look back and learn something new to help you make the most of remote working.
  
−
The very first thing to do if you need assistance with job accommodations, adaptive solutions and technology is to contact the AAACT team by email at aaact-aatia@ssc-spc.gc.ca or reach them by phone at 819-994-4835, 1-866-44-AAACT (1-866-442-2228) or by TTY 819-994-3692 Monday to Friday, 9a.m. to 5p.m. Eastern Time.
+
As the Technology Showcase team moves forward, we will be developing new wiki and other ideas to continue to bring you the best of SSC and GC supports for today’s digital worker, both virtually and eventually, in person. We are currently developing a Virtual InfoSession, product videos, and an interview series.
  
−
'''Need a loan?'''
+
'''We want to hear from you!''' We are always looking for new topics to cover. Reach out to share your ideas and suggestions by using  [[Mailto:ssc.gcremoteworkinggcrw-gctravailadistancegctd.spc@canada.ca|this email]].
  
−
AAACT also loans adaptive equipment and software for indeterminate employees to or try out, and AAACT’s Lending Library can provide quick access to certain solutions to short-term employees for the duration of their employment.

'''Microsoft Accessibility Resources'''
+
<br>'''Topics:'''
−
 
 
−
With the GC making the move to M365 and TEAMS, it’s important to keep accessibility in mind when doing so.  Check out [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/ Microsoft’s accessibility page] to get started . If you are looking for help with MS Teams, take a look at the [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/accessibility-overview-of-microsoft-teams-2d4009e7-1300-4766-87e8-7a217496c3d5?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us Accessibility Overview of Microsoft Teams] which includes a list of Teams keyboard shortcuts  and [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/accessibility-overview-of-microsoft-teams-2d4009e7-1300-4766-87e8-7a217496c3d5?ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us help for screen readers].
 
−
Microsoft also has a [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/disability-answer-desk?activetab=contact-pivot:primaryr9 Disability Answer Desk] for support with Microsoft Office Accessibility product issues, accessibility questions, and use of assistive technology. 
 
−
 
 
−
'''Make sure your presentations and documents can be read by everyone.'''
 
−
 
 
−
Working virtually means it’s even more critical that documents are accessible and usable by all. AAACT has created document accessibility guides to explain how to use the built in accessibility checker in MS Office. Make sure you create presentations and documents that everyone will be able to read.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Hold inclusive virtual meetings'''
 
−
 
 
−
Follow best practices for virtual meetings including:
 
−
*send the presentation/material in advance
 
−
*mute your audio when not in use
 
−
*follow speaker rules so only 1 person talks at once 
 
−

GC Remote Worker Banner English.png

Welcome to GC Remote Working

This new forum was created by experts at Shared Services Canada in an effort to help GC workers newly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic who find themselves working remotely.

This is an unprecedented situation; and one which is continually evolving. Remote workers need easy access to the latest information on the available tools and solutions as well as tips, best practices and updates.

Our aim with GC Remote Working is to gather the relevant remote working information in one place. We are only getting started. Our content is based on available information from all corners of the Government of Canada.

We plan to dive into topics such as security, information and document management, making “smart” use of your smart phone, using alternative tools and an introduction to Microsoft Office 365 and Teams.

Bookmark this page and check back often for more content as the situation evolves.

If you have tips and trick you would like to share, please send us an e-mail.

A Look Back: A Year of the GC Remote Worker Wiki

Unable to deliver our planned in-person information sessions, we created the GC Worker Wiki to curate and share information available from across the GC.  Our focus? Remote working. As the GC workforce nationwide adapted quickly to remote working, there was much to learn.

A year later, our Remote Working wiki has had more than 5, 434 views. We have created and shared 14 different posts and each post is viewed an average of 120 times.

Our very first post was on audio video conferencing back on May 6th – which offered tips to fully leverage audio and video conferencing tools. Essentially, audio and video conferencing was out path to re-creating the in person connections we were used to.  

Flash forward 14 months and our last post focused on a deeper dive into using Teams and Microsoft 365. In fact, we did three posts on M365 alone!
