  • Deputy Minister Briefing Binder
    INNOVATION SCIENCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Deputy Minister Briefing Binder Welcome to Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Deputy! On behalf of the over 5000 employees at ISED and more than 16,000 personnel from our portfolio partners, congratulations on your appointment! You will be leading an organization steeped in history, bursting with variety, and filled with (we believe) fantastic people. Let’s begin with your team. Every day, thousands of talented Canadians come to work at ISED throughout the country. They come for the challenge of identifying, creating, and supporting innovative initiatives and leading edge policies that make a real difference in people's lives and help shape Canada's economic future. ISED is a superb place to work but don’t just take our word for it. In 2019, your new department was selected as one of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, the NCR’s Top Employers, and Canada’s Best Diversity Employers – the triple crown. Joining such winning organizations as Suncor and Shopify, ISED is recognized as offering a wide variety of unique career opportunities while prioritizing professional development in a collaborative, inclusive, and respectful work environment for all. ISED continues to pioneer innovative workplace initiatives such as the Digital Lounge, our drop-in PayHub, Inclusion Symposiums, and a dedicated ISED Ombudsman for Mental Health and Employee Well-Being to promote a healthy workplace. A long tradition, but certainly not traditional. The last several years have been an exciting time at ISED. We gained a new name. We welcomed more Ministers. And, we are leading the charge to make Canada recognized as an innovative and globally competitive economy.
