As members of the COSO Sub-Committee on Pride and Recognition, we are proud to have a site devoted to this important aspect of Public Service renewal.
Renewal puts people at the heart of all our activities as public servants.
Innovations leading to better service delivery, contributions to a stronger policy capacity, improvements towards creating a workplace of choice, all depend on leadership, creativity and excellence. And all of us, as human beings, feel proud when we make a positive contribution through our actions. Intuitively and through experience, we also know that our energy and enthusiasm are magnified when our work is recognized and valued. The success of renewal in the public service will hinge in a great part on our ability to create a culture where individuals feel valued and where pride, recognition and performance can be closely interlinked and can reinforce one another. As our employer, Treasury Board supports these efforts to create a culture of appreciation and recognition that makes the work environment more attractive.
