Mastering the Art of Creating a Winning Employee Proposition
​
​Online | 21 & 28 July 2025 | 10:30AM - 2:30PM AEST


Overview

The challenge of attracting and retaining top talent in the public sector is more pressing than ever. With growing skills shortages in key areas like data, technology, and policy, HR and workforce leaders must rethink their approach to talent management. Despite ongoing recruitment efforts, many agencies continue to report skill shortages that jeopardise digital projects (State of the Service Report 2023-24,APS Data,Digital and Cyber Workforce Plan 2025-30).

Unlike the private sector, where uncapped salaries and flexible work models are the norm, government organisations must find new ways to remain competitive. As the public sector prioritises reform, economic development, and digital transformation, securing and retaining the right talent is essential. It’s time to redefine what it means to be an employer of choice and reimagine the employee experience in government.

This interactive, workshop-style training will equip HR and Workforce leaders with the insights and strategies needed to navigate the changing talent landscape.
