About
This event is part of the People.Policy.Place Seminar Series 2023.
The OECD’s Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI) notes that ‘the scale and complexity of the challenges governments are facing today require public institutions to adopt novel ways to think and implement public policies. This means being able to develop innovative responses to tackle long-term transformations such as those related to aging societies and automatisation of work while keeping the public sector productive and responsive to urgent needs.
If this is the case, then how does the public sector grow the skills and capabilities required now and into the future? How do we deliver a ‘fit for purpose’ public sector? We know we need to attract, recruit and retain talent in a competitive labour market, including paying special attention to the emerging skill sets required for our public sectors to be future fit. We also know we need to deliver ‘right people, right place, right time’. These and other policy considerations drive the public employment environment. I will explore these considerations in my talk.
