Panel 2 | Futureproofing through learning and development

It is true today as it was yesterday that workers across the public sector will leave to pasture new if they feel undervalued with no growth plan. Upskilling is a solution but not the be all.

As demands and delivery requirements change to meet the needs of today’s citizen, how can authorities keep pace? Teams have no option but to learn new skills, update on old skills to meet the new. The saying, every day is a learning day rings true to the masses but how can this be done in a structured and strategic way?
