Speakers
People management is more than just a skill: to do it well, you need to blend the art of leadership with the science of human behaviour. You need to be caring and compassionate while driving high performance. It’s a bit of a balancing act, and there’s always room for improvement.
This interactive networking event will help take your people management skills to the next level by building your community of peers and learning how to apply the theoretical knowledge you have about management. We'll connect you with new and experienced people managers from across the public service to exchange knowledge and insights, best practices.
A thought leader and expert keynote speaker will share fresh perspectives on people managing in 2024, and then we'll open the floor for peer-to-peer questions, concerns and ideas on people management, from real-life public service scenarios.
