Furthermore, are your processes aligned with the experience that you want to provide to your employees, and are you meeting their expectations?

Finding a Cure for Quiet Quitting

In previous years, becoming an employer of choice was often seen as a private-sector goal or accomplishment. However, the concept across both government and education organizations is gaining traction. After all, we are in the midst of the Great Resignation, forcing recruiting and retaining to become. Employees choose organizations they believe in, that offer more than just a job, and respect employees for the contributions they make. In this session, you’ll hear from a panel of thought leaders across the country on how public-sector employers can make the leap (or small step) to a better overall employee experience and, in return, higher service levels. Topics include diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; flex work, wellbeing, and more.
