About this event
As the new government begins its reforms to public services, public sector employers across the UK need to attract, engage and retain their workforce in an increasingly competitive labour market.
Workers’ expectations have changed and employers need to be working to align their people strategies to fulfil them. Employees are demanding growth, development and purpose and public sector employers need to support their aspirations.
Some life events – for example, maternity and paternity – are readily accommodated in employers’ practices. But other key milestones in employees’ lives are less well catered for. A child’s first day at school, a family illness or a house move are examples where employer support can be sporadic.
Forward-thinking public sector employers are realising that supporting staff through these moments isn't just compassionate but a strategic imperative for maintaining engagement and productivity.
This Personnel Today webinar, in association with software supplier Civica, examines the employee lifecycle as a multi-directional “infinity loop” rather than a linear progression, one that attracts, develops and retains staff while supporting the workforce through their life events.
Personnel Today’s editor Rob Moss is joined by a panel of experts and HR professionals from the public sector to discuss how they provide for their staff when life happens. Panellists include Rachel Suff, senior policy and practice advisor on employment relations for the CIPD; Natalie Jutla, employee benefits and employee financial wellbeing lead at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra); and Civica's director of sales, Howard Watson.
Register now to find out how to enhance your employee experience, enabling you to attract and retain the best talent while supporting life events through the employee lifecycle.
Attendees will learn:
- How to reset and reimagine the management of your workforce
- How building flexibility can help you respond to external pressures or internal needs
- How data-driven decisions can improve employee satisfaction, reduce turnover, and enhance service delivery.
This free 60-minute webinar includes a panel discussion and a live audience Q&A.
