May 6, 2021 - Defence Stories

Supervisors’ Resources

To support supervisors in communicating with their teams about the most recent direction on the Defence Team’s work posture, we have released updated resources on the Defence Team COVID-19 - Resuming Work page.

Updated resources include:

• Key messaging that can be leveraged during team meetings and in communication products, including messaging surrounding COVID-19 vaccines.
• Email template messages that supervisors and commands can use to communicate with their staff about the current posture and direct them to resources for added support and information.
• IT Resources and guides for working remotely, including information on Defence 365.
• COVID-19 training and courses to support members of the Defence Team in their knowledge and practices related to teleworking and COVID awareness.
• A repository of regularly updated links and key resources regarding Business Resumption and working in a COVID-19 environment.

Be sure to keep an eye out for updates to these resources as we progress through the coming months.

To provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding COVID-19 vaccines for different members of the Defence Team, we have launched a one-stop shop webpage.

On this new webpage, you will find information about the CAF’s vaccination rollout, what Defence Team members can to expect for returning to the workplace, helpful resources, and relevant messages from senior leadership.
