From Insight to Action: Helping Managers Feel Connected

−

+

In our July Managers Check-In, we asked: ''What would help you feel more connected to other managers in the public service?'' Your responses were clear.

+

'''Regional in-person events''' topped the list, showing a strong appetite for authentic, face-to-face networking. You also emphasized the value of '''mentorship''', '''collaborative projects''', and '''small-group discussions''' to build meaningful cross-departmental connections.

+

'''Virtual sessions''' and '''discussion forums''' were noted, but less preferred than personal, hands-on engagement. The least selected option? '''Social media groups''', such as LinkedIn.

+

Several comments also called for greater '''senior leader participation and support''', as well as short informal opportunities to connect like '''coffee chat''', '''lunch-and-learns''' and '''5 à 7s'''.

+

These results reinforce a key message: managers want more opportunities to connect authentically, exchange ideas, and learn together—especially in person.

+

This feedback is already shaping how the NMC plans future programming and informs our conversations with partners and advisory board members. Your input helps guide where we focus time and resources.

+

We hope to turn this momentum into stronger participation and engagement. This is especially important as we continue to seek senior leader support for managers to take time to connect and attend events that truly reflect what you value.

+

===📊 The NMC is taking a short pause from Check-In questions in August, but it's a great time to catch up! ===

+

If you haven’t had a chance to respond to past Check-In questions, we invite you to take a moment now:

+

* '''May''': [https://forms.office.com/r/YLd9DmJnPQ How effectively do you feel your current work environment supports your ability to lead and manage your team?]

+

* '''June''': [https://forms.office.com/r/eQvys7fsha Which leadership topics would be most valuable for your growth as a manager?]

+

* '''July''': [https://forms.office.com/r/iRrQZUgXKp What would help you feel more connected to other managers in the public service?]

+

We’ll be back in September with a new question as we continue our monthly Check-In series, stay tuned!<div style="text-align: right;">
