Event Overview

Powering Performance in the Public Sector

Uncertain times, changing demographics and emerging technologies have expedited the need for more agile workforces within the public sector. To cope with the pandemic, the public sector had to rapidly mobilize their workforce overnight to meet the needs and expectations of citizens, giving HR the opportunity to build a modernized, diverse, and digitally equipped workforce.


As Canada moves beyond the pandemic and repositions itself as a more digital and sustainable workspace, public sector agencies must work towards building a workforce that is equipped with the right talent, skills, tools, and flexibility for efficiency service delivery. Adapting employees’ skills and roles to the post-pandemic world of work is crucial to ensure resilience and agility across all levels of an organization. As the next generation prepares for leadership roles, what are the best practices and key strategies that can help HR leaders create an innovative and inclusive culture to fit a modernized and hybrid workforce?


Public Sector Network’s HR and the Future of Work: National Insights – Winter Edition in the Public will bring together public sector leaders to discuss the ways that Human Resources can drive transformative change and shape the future of government and the Canadian workforce.
