Attracting, retaining & developing tomorrow’s leaders

Public sector organisations, at all levels, are facing increasing policy and delivery challenges. This, coupled with decreasing budgets and, in many cases, decreasing staff means it really is a case of having to ‘do more with less’.

Public sector HR practitioners are turning their attention to establishing / strengthening talent management in order to ensure their organisations have the capabilities and leaders required to remain effective in this challenging environment.

But it’s not easy; there are challenges in gaining organisational support, selecting the right approaches and managing people through programs – as well as a range of related areas.

This conference will explore how organisations can overcome these challenges and establish/strengthen their approaches. It will do so through a series of presentations from lead agencies, leading thinkers and those organisations making progress in this space.

This conference is a must-see for any HR practitioners looking to ensure their organisations have the capabilities and the leaders required to remain effective in an environment of increasing challenges and demands.

You will learn:

• How to effectively attract, develop and retain high potentials
• How to align talent initiatives with organisational needs
• How to overcome the common misconception that talent management circumvents merit selection
• How to ensure talent management, while being facilitated by HR, is a ‘leader-led’ initiative
