Featured Themes for October 26th Meeting:


Topic: Uncivil workplaces: Why incivility is hurting more than just the bottom line


The shift in workplace demographics, aging and soon-to-retire workforce, as well as shifting Canadian norms and values mean more aggressive recruitment and retention efforts. A more deliberate reality check is needed when it comes to corporate culture - in both the public and private sectors.


The need to create innovative and diverse work environments is becoming a critical business imperative. Many companies and all levels of government are putting greater effort into creating inclusive workplaces and taking deliberate and visible steps to show they are serious about inclusion, civility and employee well-being.


Donna Achimov, Assistant Deputy Minister, Human Resources, Public Services and Procurement Canada and the past Chair of the Association of Professional Executives of the Public Service of Canada, openly discusses why the erosion of civility at work is costing employers more than just dollars. She led the effort to raise the civility bar in the federal government, talks openly about mental health in the workplace and why her department was one of the first federal organizations to name a mental health ombudsman. Her organization recently launched a transgender guide for employees and manager.


"I believe that HR is leaning in and shining the spotlight on issues that will shape the culture of work and position organizations to attract and retain the brain power needed for the future. The time has come to focus on improving the Employee Experience ‎and raising the bar when it comes to inclusion.. even if it is uncomfortable to do so," she says.


Public Services Procurement Canada has been recognized as one of the best Diversity Employers in Canada.



Presenter:

Donna Achimov, Assistant Deputy Minister, Human Resources Branch of Public Works and Government Services




Topic: HR, Evolved: The Journey from Generalist to Business Partner


The HR profession has undergone a dramatic evolution over the past few decades.


This Real Talk will highlight the business context and needs that sparked this evolution. You will also hear about the emerging skills, behaviours and experiences required to be successful in this role and leading these changes as a leader.


Presenter:

Manny Campione, Vice President, HR, LoyaltyOne




Topic: Managing Intergenerational Knowledge Transfer


Lahaie (2005) claims 42% of corporate knowledge resides in the brains of the workforce and the institutional knowledge that accompanies the person out the door is both explicit and tacit.


Meanwhile, more than 20% of those employed in Canada are 55 or older, according to Stats Canada’s 2016 data.


The complexity of the multigenerational workforce is compounded by the modern reality of job-hopping. Employees with knowledge, ambition, ideas and passion are continuously seeking new positions and being recruited for job opportunities elsewhere.


Piktials & Greenes (2008) and Wagner (2009) both acknowledge knowledge transfer methods need to be varied due to existing age diversity of the workforce.


Please join us as Brian Monette, C.E.O. of Transition-Path, shares with us his observations and trends on this topic derived from the 1000’s of knowledge capture engagements in which his firm has been involved. Transition-Path has captured, organized and transferred institutional knowledge from people in a spectrum of roles from the “C-suite” to the shop floor and in highly technical, professional, sales, infrastructure and administrative positions.



Presenter:

Brian Monette, CEO Transition Path Inc.



Special guest:

J. Scott Allinson, HRPA's VP of Public Affairs, will join us to provide an inside look at HRPA's hot-off-the-presses research with Deloitte: The Intelligence Revolution. Get an exclusive front-row seat to this pioneering research on how technological disruption and automation are fundamentally re-shaping the workplace – and what you need to do to prepare.
