About the workshop

In a climate of ongoing change and complexity in the Australian Public Service, traditional employee engagement and performance management principles are no longer delivering the goods. Progressive organisations and teams are looking to new systems and initiatives, embedding development conversations into the everyday, working to more clearly link business plans with individual performance and organisational culture.

This specially designed two-day program will deliver new frameworks for managing employee performance and engagement in a changing Public Sector environment. This interactive, practical course will unlock the power of motivational mapping and explore the latest employee engagement strategies and systems. It'll help you implement a motivational and user-friendly system aligned with the strategic direction of your organisation.
