Insights from Apolitical's 'Public Servants' Learning and Skills Trends Survey'
Skilled public servants are the bedrock of effective government action.
Understanding how – and how much – public servants learn is critical data for governments looking to build capable workforces that deliver better outcomes, faster.
That's why Apolitical surveyed over 2,000 public servants to understand the state of learning in government. We found a global public service:
pressed by urgent priorities;
trying to adapt and make space for the important work of learning;
but often confused about priorities for skills development.
This report sets out key findings from our global survey, alongside insights from government leaders including former Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill, alongside Sir Geoff Mulgan and Myra Latendresse-Drapeau.
