Welcome to GC Remote Working
This new forum was created by experts at Shared Services Canada in an effort to help GC workers newly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic who find themselves working remotely.
This is an unprecedented situation; and one which is continually evolving. Remote workers need easy access to the latest information on the available tools and solutions as well as tips, best practices and updates.
Our aim with GC Remote Working is to gather the relevant remote working information in one place. We are only getting started. Our content is based on available information from all corners of the Government of Canada.
We plan to dive into topics such as security, information and document management, making “smart” use of your smart phone, using alternative tools and an introduction to Microsoft Office 365 and Teams.
Bookmark this page and check back often for more content as the situation evolves.
If you have tips and trick you would like to share, please send us an e-mail.
Social Media and the GC Remote Worker
Social media can be an effective way to share information when working remotely. It has increasingly been used across the GC. The Treasury Board Secretariat states that “Departments and employees use social media for:
- official government business and/or communications activities
- work related activities such as networking, gathering and sharing knowledge, career development
- some personal use according to ''acceptable criteria.”
To learn more about the Government of Canada’s policy on social media, including the rules for how we manage websites and corporate social media accounts, you can review the Treasury Board’s GC Social Media Requirements.
Many government departments and agencies use Twitter and Facebook to communicate with the Canadian public and their own employees and stakeholders. Find out if your organization is active on social media and follow along for important information.
