Public Sector Workforce Analytics
Workshop 2016
BACKGROUND
People are every organisation’s largest and most valuable asset.
A well sculpted workforce and positive culture significantly
impact the success and well being of an organisation. To meet
the challenges presented by the dynamic environment of the
Public Sector, employees must be equipped with the knowledge
and resources needed to competently deliver consistent
outcomes. However, in order to create a workforce plan
that addresses employee needs, HR professionals must first
understand the underlying factors or fundamentals that drive
success.
With Public Sector governance structures continually changing,
it can be difficult to project the future requirements of an
organisation. It is imperative that HR professionals acknowledge
and adapt to evolving future trends whilst creating a robust
workforce plan. Uncertain trends and variables often complicate
future projections, however through the use of tactical workforce
analytics, HR professionals can derive the needs of a complex
workforce from quality data.
In this Workshop, delegates will explore the essential tools and
techniques demanded of HR professionals in the Public Sector
to create a sophisticated workforce plan against a backdrop
of continual change. It will focus on the technical abilities
needed to integrate and interpret workforce analytics into your
organisational strategy.

WHO WILL ATTEND
This workshop will be delivered using a three tiered approach. The
structure of each session is as follows:

• Workforce Planning
• Organisational Development
1. Technical overview and review of research into the topic area
under discussion
• People and Performance
• Change Management
• People and Culture
• Business Forecasting
2. Practical application of management principles in the review

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to include
comments and questions about issues outlined in the program by
way of a pre-course questionnaire. This feedback will enable the
course facilitator to adjust content accordingly. The workshop has
limited places to allow for customisation, greater interactivity and
for individual concerns to be addressed.
