1/6 So thankful for the honest feedback this week from parents in our #DefenceTeam. We had a hard but necessary conversation about navigating work, kids and COVID. Some felt reasonably ok. Others felt highly stressed. Everyone is doing their best.
2/6 We talked about parental guilt. About job security fears. About the different frictions occurring at home, work or both. About the loneliness of working remotely. And what we can do to take care of ourselves.
3/6 We also talked about critical tasks vs. nice-to-haves. From my perspective, a critical task is something necessary for operational continuity, for safety and security, or something we are legislatively required to do.
1/7 Friday Update: We knew business resumption wouldn’t be straightforward and we were right. We’re starting to see more return-to-workplace questions that fit in to the “case-by-case decision” category. That’s ok.
2/7 To managers or employees having difficulty with decisions or next steps for business resumption within your team—support and guidance is available. Seeking advice is especially important if you are a CAF member who manages civilians.
3/7 But the first step should always be discussions between employees and managers. If you can’t reach a solution, the HR GO RH App, HR Connect, local union reps, and Labour Relations advisors are there to support.
1/12 Friday #DefenceTeam update: Last weekend was certainly unusual and a little tough. That said, Canada came together to help stop the #COVID19 spread and that’s something to be really proud of. Nice to know that families can still be families via video call.
2/12 We can be realistic about what’s happening and still kind to ourselves and others. Purpose helps. Especially knowing that the #DefenceTeam has a role to play in this fight.
3/12 And that we’re making a difference. Public health officials say Canadians’ efforts are working. The Defence Team is helping accomplish that outcome from our different postures, with our different contributions.
1/8 #DefenceTeam update: Week four of pandemic footing. COVID-19 response work and coordination with OGDs continues to consume the days. Grateful to Defence Team members ensuring critical business activities continue in the midst of this crisis.
2/8 Critical activities like year-end. Big shout-out to the ADM (FIN) team and Defence Team Comptrollers working to finish-up the 2019-2020 numbers. Always a massive job, but this year’s circumstances make it more logistically complex.
3/8 Agree with sentiments of the Clerk of @PrivyCouncilCA: DND civilians, your contributions matter, whether at home or on-site, whether busy with work, or busy staying healthy. We need you, and we need you to keep doing what you’re doing.
1/7 Friday #DefenceTeam update: CAF/DND leadership has established a daily battle rhythm on #COVID19’s evolving situation. Encouraged by extensive coordination between departments and agencies. Clear we’re in it together.
2/7 So many folks across #DefenceTeam, @CST_CSE, and other government departments working long hours to ensure effective and scalable GoC response. Thank you.
3/7 Continue to be grateful to ongoing commitment of healthcare, pharmacy and grocery store workers on the front lines of pandemic. Extraordinary courage and sacrifice that’s a credit to our country.
1/8 #DefenceTeam: It’s Friday of a challenging week, one with many moving parts, frequent updates, and multiple pivots. Thank you for your patience. Both appreciated and incredibly helpful.
2/8 Big thanks to CAF/DND and @CST_CSE folks working to keep critical ops and infrastructure running. Same for Canadians on front lines of this fight: first responders, healthcare workers, pharmacy and grocery-store staff, and those keeping supplies and necessities flowing.
3/8 Heading into the weekend, please do an info status check. Are you tracking the right online resources for CAF/DND #COVID19 updates? Start here: canada.ca/en/department-…
