Event Overview

Powering Performance in the Public Sector

As government workplaces continue to evolve, HR sits in a strategic position to play a critical role in reimagining and recreating engaging work experiences for their employees. The public sector needs to be prepared for the impact of a changing world on its people, processes, and technologies.

The 2022 HR & Future of Work Roadshow will delve into how government departments can create modern, digitally enabled, and people-focused HR policies in ANZ. Across seven major cities, each state-specific program will showcase key projects, best-practice, and insights to demonstrate how government can sustain its transformation trajectory beyond COVID.
