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.

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.

'''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.

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'''.
