Building a 21st Century Workforce

Against a backdrop of changing mission requirements, shifting workforce demographics and increased public expectations of what the government can deliver, governments are striving to attain the next level of performance - incorporating changes while they implement new technologies, equip an emerging workforce, adapt operating practices, and respond to fluctuating budgets. These multiple challenges are having a profound effect on the resources public sector agencies require, creating a need for organizations to adjust the size and mix of their workforce and strengthen workforce capabilities.

Six Ways to Engineer Public-Employee Engagement

According to the latest Gallup report on government workers' engagement, a median of only 29 percent of them are engaged at work. Disengaged employees stay for what they get from the organization. Engaged workers stay for what they can give. While high employee engagement doesn't guarantee high organizational performance, there is a strong linkage: an engaged workforce increases innovation, productivity and overall effectiveness.
