Optimising Teams

Tuesday, 28 February 2023 | 9:30am – 4:45pm AEDT | Online

Training Overview

Driving Greater Cohesion, Productivity, and Well-Being in the Public Sector

A recent survey of public sector employees across ANZ has revealed something we all know – people enjoy working in government for three main reasons; the opportunity to do meaningful work, working with great people, and worker well-being.

The average government employee has had to work at a faster pace and had to adapt to the seismic workplace changes. It’s no surprise then, that public sector employee resilience has taken a hit with a 12% drop across the board.

The Optimising Teams training will give you an opportunity to go back to the drawing board, and encourage you to reflect on your team objectives, personal goals, and purpose with a view to uplifting resilience, well-being, and performance.
