March 26
How Will You Meet the Corporate Priority of Building a Diverse Public Service?
As part of 2018-19 performance agreements, executives are asked to identify recruitment and development activities to increase the social and cultural diversity of our workforce, in order to better reflect the population we serve and improve decision making. This includes defining diversity goals with respect to the needs of their own organization, implementing the appropriate recruitment and development activities and measuring progress.
Will you be positioned to report favourably on this commitment?
Participate in this conversation and learn what some private and public sector organizations are doing to achieve a diverse and inclusive workforce.
This event is part of our “EXpressions” series.

Reducing the Number of Pay Problems: Tools at Your Disposal
A government-wide corporate priority for fiscal year 2018-19 is Supporting Efforts to Address the Pay System. Executives whose organizations are served by the new pay system are to continue to undertake the necessary initiatives to ensure our employees are paid accurately and on time. This includes undertaking actions both within their organization and contributing to the efforts of Public Services and Procurement Canada and the Treasury Board Secretariat in tackling the challenges posed by the pay system.
Join APEX in a discussion with PSPC and improve your knowledge about how to prevent and reduce the number of pay problems, taking away tips and tricks for supporting your employees and preventing pay issues before they arise.

Leadership Story: Inspiring Excellence
Gain actionable insights from Michel Doiron, the winner of the 2018 APEX Awards of Excellence for Leadership. The epitome of an outstanding leader, Michel models excellence and deep commitment to the values of the Federal Public Service, so it is not surprising that many view him as a role model and mentor.
Michel’s respectful and forthright leadership has resulted in improved programs, services and new initiatives, including the expansion of VAC’s digital service strategy, the creation and implementation of the Suicide Prevention Strategy (with the Canadian Armed Forces), the re-opening of nine offices, and the implementation of millions of dollars in new programming and benefits to veterans.
Meet an inspiring leader who works tirelessly to improve the lives of others and learn how to lead in a personable and compassionate way!

Performance Management Program: What We Heard and APEX Perspective
In September 2018, the Association of Professional Executives (APEX) asked executives for feedback on their recent experience with the performance management program.
The survey sought to understand the community’s concerns so that advice could be gathered and shared with various stakeholders. The considerable feedback we received has been compiled and APEX has drafted the APEX Perspective: Performance Management Program.
You are invited to join us as we share the feedback received from the survey and to influence the finalization of the APEX Perspective.
