Having Workforce Recruitment & Retention Issues? You’re Not Alone!
Virtual Roundtable Discussions:
To meet the workforce challenges of today and into the future, local government agencies must find new and innovative ways to reach qualified applicants. Workforce shortages are already impacting the essential services local governments need to provide.
The Institute for Local Government (ILG) is seeking input from HR Directors, Hiring Managers, and other local government leaders to help identify barriers to employment for promising candidates and develop solutions that improve talent pipeline development opportunities in the public sector.
ILG is hosting a series of VIRTUAL Roundtable Discussions to ensure the focus of its workforce initiatives and pilot programming align with the specific needs of its local government partners. Topics will include: talent acquisition strategies/methods, strategies to actively recruit, innovative ways to update policies, and more.
