Best Practices Forum on Official Languages/Events
The Forum
The Best Practices Forum on Official Languages is being held virtually this year and is opening its audience to the entire public service. Take the opportunity and attend this annual event that brings together official languages champions, persons responsible for official languages and coordinators responsible for implementing measures to foster the development of Francophone and Anglophone minority communities, support their development and promote the full recognition and use of English and French in Canadian society.
This year’s Forum will focus on the theme of diversity and inclusion.
From insecurity to linguistic security: Coaching, resilience and risk taking
How can career coaching be leveraged to implement linguistic security? Are you familiar with the concept of linguistic resilience? Do you recognize the impact of leaders who make ongoing efforts to speak in their second language? Do you wish to discover an application that helps public servants mitigate their linguistic insecurity?
In order to answer these questions, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat has brought together many specialists who will share their experience regarding some competencies related to the creation of linguistic security on an individual and organizational basis.
Welcoming address
Nancy Chahwan , Chief Human Resources Officer, Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS), will present a short introduction of the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos , President of the Treasury Board.
