EP#67: A Great Exhaustion or A Great Inspiration?

The pandemic has significantly changed the public and private sector workforce, with a rapid shift towards flexible and dispersed work. We now face challenges such as changing expectations of government and the community, talent shortages and the evolving employee value proposition. In this new normal, organisations have had to reposition their infrastructure and rethink the role of leadership and culture.

In this episode, we are joined by Belinda Casson, Acting Chief Operating Officer at the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, Michael Nelson, General Manager at Services Australia, and Rachael Jackson, Chief Operating Officer at the National Indigenous Australians Agency. Listen as they discuss the implications of our new normal, including insights into what employees are now wanting.

This episode has been adapted from a recent IPAA webinar on 31 August 2022, which was held in partnership with Hays Recruitment. The webinar was hosted by Clara Fallon, Associate Regional Director, ACT at Hays.

Discussed in this episode:

  • Digitalisation of work to adapt to the new normal
  • Aligning organisation values to changing expectations
  • Addressing the evolving employee value proposition in the public service
