Developing a safe, transparent and accountable workplace culture within the public sector

 
REGISTER INTEREST FOR NEXT WORKSHOP
 
In its learning and development strategy, the Australian Public Service aims to build “a highly capable and future-ready workforce; always learning and adapting to deliver for the government and Australians”. A key component of a capable and future-ready workforce is building a successful workplace culture to transform the employee and customer experience.
 
Culture is, at its core, about behaviours in the workplace. The challenge is to minimise, if not eliminate, the gap between the aspirational culture (what we say we do) and the way people really behave in the workplace. 
In recent years there has been significant changes to public sector workplaces and how we work. The pandemic pushed us to working from home and now hybrid and flexible working is here to stay. The Respect@Work Report is one of several reports that highlight significant issues in workplaces. These disruptions have had different impacts between jurisdictions, sectors and job types.
 
The Public Sector Workforce Culture Workshop will look at ways to set an aspirational organisational culture in this environment of significant disruption, and how to recognise and reward desired behaviours or change and eliminate unacceptable behaviours within the context of the public sector.
