Re-Energising the Public Sector: Motivation, productivity and getting results from leaders, managers and frontline staff

About the workshop
One of the biggest issues challenging the public sector is measuring effectiveness of public service delivery. Public sector bodies need to be outcome oriented and think in terms of performance impact aligned with their core business as a public body. All organisations depend on their leaders, managers and front-line staff to fulfil their organisation’s mandate and achieve results. Even in such challenging times as these, the public sector is still required to deliver. Getting the best out of staff is crucial.

Those who are leading their organisations at present have huge demands and pressure on them. This workshop will give you an opportunity to take some time to reflect and gather your thoughts for the future with a view to delivering enhanced services to the public. It will help you to recognise the need to increase productivity, motivate your teams and explore ideas for encouraging a committed workforce to ensure that key services are provided for citizens.
