Building Excellence in Government

With constant changes to government laws and regulations, it is imperative for public sector organisations to understand and implement up-to-date rules and legal practices daily.

The complexities of policies and practices that exist within the government and public sector, mean organisations needing to implement rigorous training programs to ensure compliance is continually met.

Some of the business challenges the government and public sector need to address include:

• High staff turnover
• Time shortage for training and development
• Budgeting
• Low employee engagement levels
• Low knowledge retention
• Document duplication/lack of documentation

This is where continual training and development come into effect. Training can help minimise the number of operational challenges and pose significant benefits in the long run.

Benefits of Training in the Public Sector

Build Internal Capabilities

Investing in employee training and development ensures best practices are ingrained into the business and reduces mandatory skills gap within the organisation. It is this foundational knowledge that sets the basis for creating strong internal capabilities within a company.

Reduce Staff Turnover

Staff turnover is highly costly in time, money and resources. Training staff and investing in their ongoing development not only ensures higher levels of knowledge building but also improves employee motivation and productivity.

Training Considerations

With the high turnover rate in government organisations, document and job handovers are a crucial step in ensuring the delivery of quality service consistently. Knowing that each individual has a different approach to learning and a different method of organising information, it is important to consider a few key points.

What Are My Training Needs?

Identify the exact types of skills required i.e. mandatory vs. the nice-to-haves. This will ensure the organisation will have the training it actually needs.

What Are My Options?

Before coming to a final decision it can be beneficial to research different training options available to identify what solution aligns best with your business requirements. Some training options include:

• Instructor-led – A classroom environment with a dedicated personnel to conduct the training
• e-learning – Self-paced learning so you can work at a comfortable pace.
• Group discussions – A more interactive learning approach that allows for greater knowledge sharing
• Mentoring – Training with continual guidance and assistance as and when required.
• Simulation / Mock cases – Experiential training that allows for application of theoretical knowledge
