Being Digital
No matter what you do, you touch digital in some way as a GC employee, through program or service delivery and as an end user of digital solutions.
As a GC Employee Being Digital Matters…
Why?
People expect and need their government to build and deliver simple, secure, and efficient digital services and programs.
By improving digital skills and enhancing our use of digital tools and platforms, our jobs become easier. All government employees and every government organization can better fulfill their job roles, improve services and programs to better serve people, and make more informed decisions at all leadership levels.
What is Digital?
It is how the integration of people, skills, behaviours, information and technology shape our work and the ways in which we interact.
Digital is about good delivery – through client services, programs, research, or internal services – all public servants need to be digitally fluent.
