With quarterly unemployment unchanged at 3.3 per cent this week, it’s very much a jobseekers’ market in which organisations remain in fierce competition to find the right recruits for their roles. We’re pleased to announce that Jo Cribb will facilitate a session to help you turbocharge your council’s pulling power and get you thinking about your future workforce at our Taituarā Conference 2022. This will take place in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington from 29-30 November 2022.
The future of work starts now
Jo’s ‘the future of work starts now’ workshop at Taituarā Conference 2022 will help participants
- to be aware of the current trends in work and how they may impact on their workplace over the next 5-20 years,
- to reflect on how attractive their workplace is to current and future employees, and
- to identify practical actions they can take now and over coming years to ensure they attract talented workers.
