myAIPMHow public sector leaders can navigate changing employee expectations
SEEK Podcast
The pandemic has seen workplace changes and employee expectations change. We now see employees looking for a “life experience” career that includes support for health and wellbeing from their managers and employers.
Annie Reeves, Executive Director, People & Culture – Departments of Jobs, Precincts and Regions gives advice to public service leaders; adapt through data, use your employee surveys to ask employees what they are looking for from their employer. If we ignore what the data says we will lose good people. Resilience wanes when change is constant.
Seek research says that salary, work life balance and culture are the top priority for employees. Clear career pathways that connect employees to higher purpose, they need, and want, to evolve with the organisation.
What impact has working remotely had on culture? Technology is a great enabler, however it can take the place of human centred design, technology creates a culture of task delegation, which impacts on human connection and pastural care. Annie’s advice is to make sure you have enough technology to be adaptive.
