National Insights – Spring Edition

Event Overview

Redefining HR Functions Amid the Evolution of the Workplace

HR operations play a fundamental role in any organization. Ensuring that the public sector is equipped with the right people is critical to the success of our governments, which in turn, impacts our communities locally, nationally, and even globally. The continued pursuit of operational excellence from our HR departments is nothing short of essential. Over the past two years, this sector has been faced with extraordinary challenges. Our workspaces were displaced, traditional processes and systems disrupted, while employees faced difficulties of their own.

As we look to the future, it is important to ensure that we maintain the course of transformation and look to innovative ways to build superior systems, workspaces, and teams. This event will expand on the idea of flexibility and how workspaces can further evolve to meet the needs of their employees. We will address the many ways in which technology will expand conventional HR processes and functions while creating more employee-centered and inclusive experiences.

It is also important to recognize the impact of these operational overhauls and how public sector workers are affected. The sessions below will further address how mental health and employee wellbeing should also be at the forefront of workplace transformation. Investing in tools that prioritize learning, development, accessibility, and inclusivity can only further HR efforts and build a more resilient workforce.
