    Evolving managers’ practice & presence

    While the past two years have been challenging for everyone, managers have continued to rise to the occasion.  

    In a time that is characterized by data, digital, new workplace designs, enhanced focus on inclusiveness, flatter work cultures, and multiple generations working together, managers have been flexible, hard-working, and delivered the critical programs that Canadians rely on.

    As the pressures and expectations have evolved, both for what a manager needs to know and what is expected of them, they are looking for the tactics, strategies and skills that will elevate their outcomes. 

    The National Managers’ Community (NMC) Secretariat is a small piece of the puzzle, much of the picture comes from the impacts that managers have every day in the way they show up for themselves and their employees.  

    The NMC Strategic Agenda

    To sustain and enhance managers’ capacity to drive public service renewal.

    Supporting managers to:

    • Build a diversified and inclusive public service –> Supporting Black and racialized employees, Indigenous Peoples, employees with disabilities, religious minorities, and others who continue to face barriers in the workplace.
    • Thrive in the post-pandemic workplace –> Being mobilized and agile with a focus on wellbeing.
    • Promote innovation and optimize performance –> Fostering and growing talent; demonstrating a continuous learning and development mindset.
    Helping to shape the future of Canada’s public service. One that will continue to be more agile, diverse, accessible, and inclusive.

    “The NMC is committed to supporting managers as they navigate through an increasingly complex operating environment. We will deepen community connections, support them as they achieve public service priorities and create opportunities for managers to develop the skills they need for the future.”
