While dealing with the second point, the integration of learning and career development, Madame Bourgon asked why people should choose a career in an institution dedicated to service to the public when they are given the choice between the private and public sectors. She affirmed that comparatively, the public sector offers immense advantages. But this is not enough of itself. The greatest advantage is the diversified, complex and stimulating nature of the work. There is nothing comparable.
People join the public sector to be of service to the public.
She does not believe that it is the salaries or fringe benefits that retain them. We can offer employees the possibility of staying at the top of their expertise. This is a considerable competitive edge. Madame Bourgon specified that we should be thinking in terms of forming several circles. As an integral part of a circle dedicated to the service of several other circles, let us become a smart community, let us know how to find and use pertinent knowledge and let us become a community of exemplary practices.
