<b> Toolbox for the Official Languages Maturity Model (OLMM) exercise</b><br>
 +
<b><i>Do you have tools and best practices to share?</b></i>
 +
<br>
 +
(Published July 13, 2020)<br>

The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages' Official Languages Maturity Model (OLMM) is a tool that helps federal institutions assess the maturity of their OL practices and processes, identify their strengths and areas of improvement, and chart a path forward. You can learn more about the OLMM <span style="color:#3095B4;"> [https://www.clo-ocol.gc.ca/en/ol-maturity-model here.]</span><br>
 +
<br>
 +
At the virtual meetings of the advisory committees on official languages held on June 22, 2020, the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency were invited to share the experience of an OLMM review, which began in May 2019. This allowed meeting participants to gain insight into the issues and the level of effort required when completing the exercise. <br>
 +
<br>
 +
To help federal institutions conduct the OLMM review, the OLCE will create a toolbox of templates and materials used by organizations that have undergone an OLMM exercise. <br>
 +
<br>
 +
We need your help to populate that toolbox! If you have completed the exercise and developed templates, forms or any other information that could help other organizations, please let us know at {{em|OLCEInformationCELO@tbs-sct.gc.ca}}. All tools included in the toolkit will be credited to the institution that developed them and we will check with you before posting anything.

<b>Guide on official languages and telework</b> (Published July 13, 2020)<br>
 +
<br>
 +
The COVID-19 pandemic abruptly changed the way most public servants work. To help employees cope with the new reality of working remotely, the Government of Canada recently published a series of guidelines ranging from workspace design at home to maintaining well-being, network use, work management, connectivity, linguistic duality and inclusion.  <br>
 +
<br>
 +
We encourage you to <span style="color:#3095B4;">[https://www.canada.ca/en/government/publicservice/covid-19/working-remotely.html#toc06 consult the publication,]</span> which includes useful reminders that can help employees respect linguistic duality when working remotely. <br>

<b>Assessment of official languages in the appointment process</b> (Published July 13, 2020)<br>
 +
<br>
 +
Official languages play an important role in the appointment process. To ensure an appointment is based on merit, the person appointed must meet each of the essential qualifications, including the official language proficiency designated for the position. <br>
 +
<br>
 +
To answer questions about the assessment of official languages in an appointment process, the Public Service Commission recently published Frequently Asked Questions. <span style="color:#3095B4;">[ https://www.canada.ca/en/public-service-commission/services/appointment-framework/guides-tools-appointment-framework/assessment-official-languages-appointment-process.html Click here] </span> for more information. <br>
