Developing a skilled, inclusive, agile and equipped workforce is a necessity for public sector employers across Canada. This Playbook identifies 40+ low-cost tips, activities and actions that public sector managers can take starting today (some in only 10 minutes a day) to attract, engage and retain staff. Written in an innovative "travel guide" format, author Lisa Taylor integrates a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) throughout and recognizes the unique context of public sector workplaces. The Playbook, published by CERIC, also provides planning templates and links to additional resources.

Career management - at every level of government - offers a strategic lever for stronger organizational performance and success. Indeed, career management affects more than just employee satisfaction and loyalty. It drives better public service, faster identification of ways to deliver on your mandate and increased opportunity for innovation.

This Playbook is for you if, as a public sector manager, you are concerned about any of the following workforce needs:

Recruitment and retention of talented employees
Transition support (e.g., onboarding, automation, retirement planning, etc.)
Development of new leadership candidates and skill sets
Knowledge transfer
Career agility, resilience and mobility
Reskilling or upskilling that is increasingly needed in the rapidly changing world of work
Safeguarding and improvement of mental health and well-being

Industry Reviews

"Finally! A comprehensive resource that is practical and speaks to the benefits of career planning while providing free tools and pathways that recognize our busy work lives. This should be saved on the desktops of all public service people-management leaders. As the public service readies itself for the culture shift for the future of work, and responds to the calls to action on addressing systemic racism, diversity and inclusion, this Playbook comes at a critical time to help understand how career conversations are essential to align talent with the organizational needs of today and tomorrow...now."

- Tracey Sametz, Director General, Human Resources, Transport Canada

"Public sector managers are in the driver's seat of a leadership journey. Guiding a team to serve the public interest is not straightforward. It's no small task for any leader to invite creativity, and support resilience and results. The circumstances for public managers are especially challenging. This Playbook is designed to support your journey with compassion for your reality. The travel guide format satisfies a hunger for bite-sized, practical advice to super-charge relationships in a way that mobilizes progress. Whether you're a veteran or beginner, you'll find ideas to build your confidence and competence for the road ahead."

- Alastair MacFadden, Executive in Residence at Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy and Former Deputy Minister, Government of Saskatchewan
