<p>In June 2019, the [https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/programs/accessible-people-disabilities/act-infographic.html#section0 Accessible Canada Act] received Royal Assent. The Act establishes a framework to create a barrier-free Canada by proactively identifying, removing and preventing barriers to accessibility. It will also ensure that people with disabilities will no longer need to fight barriers to accessibility on an individual basis. With this legislation in place, millions of Canadians with disabilities can rely on the Government of Canada to remove the barriers that hinder their full participation in society.

<h2>Your role as an ESDC executive</h2>

<p>As a leader at ESDC, you have a key role in building a healthy, inclusive and productive workplace, including influencing the level of success and satisfaction of your employees and your colleagues at work.</p>

<p>We are delighted that you, along with over 600 executives, will work towards a common goal and your contribution will be integral to ESDC’s mission in serving Canadians. We believe that what a strong group of leaders can accomplish together is much larger, far greater, and will exceed that which an individual can accomplish alone.</p>
 
−
<p>To support you as you begin your new role, we are providing you with a few resources available prior to your official start with ESDC. They will provide you with a better understanding of your new work environment and role as an executive at ESDC.</p>

Pre-Arrival Checklist - Are you ready for your first day?

Our pre-arrival onboarding content contains general guidance that applies to most employees’ working arrangements. It also includes several specialized sections, such as information for incoming Executives.

We are actively developing new content for other segments of our workforce. Be sure to check back regularly.

Discuss with your Hiring Manager

Your hiring manager has likely already contacted you to communicate the preliminary job offer and arrange a start date. This person will be the primary resource assigned to support your pre-arrival onboarding activities.

  • Talk to your hiring manager about the details of your work arrangement, such as hours of work and work location. Find out if you will be working remotely, in-person or through a hybrid model.
  • Stay in regular contact with your manager if there is a long period between the job offer and the start date.
  • It may be too early to know if you need workplace accommodation but take the time to speak to your new manager about the workplace and any potential workplace accommodation.
  • Workspace setups will vary on a case-by-case basis, but if you foresee the need for specific equipment to carry out your duties, please discuss it with your hiring manager as soon as possible.
  • Before your first day, make sure you have clear instructions about what to do and have the required contact information for your arrival should it be virtual or in-person.
  • For any other questions or concerns not covered on this site, do not hesitate to contact your hiring manager.

Monitor your e-mail for important documents and communications

At some point during your hiring process, you should have provided your manager with an e-mail address. Monitor this e-mail account regularly for important messages until you have access to your ATSSC e-mail account.

The following list includes some examples of communications and documents you should receive before your arrival. Depending on your work arrangement, some of these items may not apply to you. When in doubt, ask your hiring manager.

  • Letter of offer package from your manager
  • Instructions for obtaining your IT equipment from your manager or a delegated IT technician
  • Network access information
  • Reference materials related to your role and organization:
    • Phone list
    • Organizational chart with titles
    • Staff lists and/or other contact lists
    • Voicemail and email instructions
    • Job description

Getting your technology (IT) equipment and network access

Whether you will be working remotely, in-person or through a hybrid model, your hiring manager will coordinate with you to ensure you receive the tools and equipment you need to carry out your work.

If you foresee the need for specific equipment, or any other circumstance that may affect your ability to carry out your regular duties, please discuss it with your hiring manager as soon as possible.

Once you obtain your IT equipment, follow the enclosed instructions to finish setting up your computer, and ensure you have a stable internet connection if accessing the network remotely.

Technical support

If you are having trouble setting up your workstation or logging onto the network, you can send an e-mail to the IT service desk at 613-947-5444 between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm EST or you can send an e-mail to [[1]].

Get to know ESDC and other aspects of your employment

Departmental Information

Diversity & Inclusion

The ATSSC is committed to having a skilled, inclusive and diversified workforce, which is representative of the population we serve.

We encourage all employees to complete an Employee Self-identification Form to voluntarily identify, as applicable, to one or more of the four (4) employment equity designated groups (i.e. visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and women). This form will be available once you have your ATSSC network access.

At the ATSSC, we believe that everyone deserves the same opportunities, chance at success, and ability to participate fully in society without barriers. We look forward to working with you to achieve this vision and to ensure all our employees and our executives reach their full potential.
