Many Voices Taskforce Final report and Feedback request
The Many Voices Taskforce, as part of the TBS Reconciliation Work Plan, sought to reduce and remove barriers to public service employment encountered by Indigenous Peoples.
The final report can be found at: https://www.canada.ca/en/government/publicservice/wellness-inclusion-diversity-public-service/diversity-inclusion-public-service/knowledge-circle/many-voices/summary-report-departmental-progress-scorecard-findings.html. For the upcoming meeting this Friday, OCHRO has asked the bargaining units to consider the following questions:
Have your members experienced barriers in relation to the educational, professional certification, or other requirements of a position? If so, what was the requirement and how was it an issue?
Have your members been negatively impacted by the method used to assess them for a position (e.g. written test, interview, reference check)? If so, what was the method and how was it an issue? What practices have they seen that facilitate good assessments?
Have your members encountered other issues in selection processes?
Please be as specific as possible. What practices have they seen that facilitate good selection processes?
If your members have had issues with a selection process, did they pursue recourse (complaint, investigation, informal discussion)?
If not, why? If so, were they satisfied with the result?
It is critically important that the experiences and perspectives of our members are heard. We ask that you provide your responses to the three questions outlined above by Monday, January 25, 5:00 p.m. to Seema Lamba at lambas@psac-afpc.com.Please direct all questions to Seema. Please feel free to share this information widely to assist in the gathering of information. While we recognize the timeframe is short, this is necessary work and all responses are valuable.
