LAST QUESTION! Time sure flies when you are chatting away!

Q6. As we aspire to a truly representative and inclusive Public Sector, what other questions are emerging for you?

[LeadersGC @LeadersGC]

You've named the barriers. It's time for next steps. 👣

Q5. How are we or how can we work to remove barriers and become a truly inclusive and representative public service? #LeadersGC

[LeadersGC @LeadersGC]

Fourth question tonight! #CBC_CDC #LeadersGC

Q4. What are some of the biggest barriers for equity and equity-seeking employees who are looking to build their career in the public service?

[LeadersGC @LeadersGC]

We love your answers for our first two questions. Keep the great tweets coming! 🔥

Q3. How can we help people know how to request accommodations during the hiring process, without worrying that it will impact their chances of being hired?

[Kathy Kaill @katkaill]

@LeadersGC A3. After having worked as an employment specialist helping those with disabilities, we need to show prospective hires they can safely ask for accommodations without fear. Just having a statement usually doesn't help people open up to express their needs.

[Kathy Kaill @katkaill]

@LeadersGC A2. I think it is a wonderful opportunity for others to network with a variety of people. I may be old school, but I worry we may lose true connection without face to face connections. #LeadersGC #CBC_CDC

[LeadersGC @LeadersGC]

Here's our second question! (Remember to answer with "A2" and #LeadersGC) 💡

Q2. How can virtual or hybrid work models help us build a more diverse public service and make GC jobs available to all public service workers, no matter where they live?

[LeadersGC @LeadersGC]

Here we go! (Remember to answer with ""A1"" and #CBC_CDC #LeadersGC) 💡

Q1. Are there any networks or communities of practice that you feel are particularly good at supporting equity and equity seeking employees particularly with networking and career development?

Fascinating insights from Rony Hacohen @B_I_Tweets on combatting the #genderpaygap in the UK. Main challenges: people don’t understand the problem & employers don’t know where to start. Some solutions in the pic below. #BAD2018

‘@S_Nouman_Ashraf : change needs to come from a place of justice rather than a place of shame #BAD2018

[Stefan Kollenberg @StefanKBerg]

Equity work has come from a place of shame or guilt. If we want to shift norms and standards, we should focus our efforts in working towards justice.

We can’t talk about justice without a conversation about sharing power.

"The struggle for gender equality, like other equality, has to be based on justice...we cannot talk about justice without sharing power, and talking about how we have kept power from others" - @S_Nouman_Ashraf #BAD2018

[Stefan Kollenberg @StefanKBerg]

If you’re going to empathize with another person and hear what you’re saying, you need to be able to articulate these things for yourself.

When you help young men speak about their own emotions, they become better at relating to the emotions of others. @jamiljivani #BAD2018

[Kira Lussier @kiralussier]

.@jamiljivani : Grassroots interventions can help prevent young men from falling into trips of essentialism, feeling like paths are foreclosed and there are only limited options for how to be a person—and a man—in the world. #bad2018
