Faced with nationwide reform agendas and resource scarcity, local government as a whole has a number of workforce development issues, including addressing critical skills shortage issues. Factors like an ageing workforce and changing technologies can also impact government workforce planning.

As talent leaders, there is a cost-effective way to provide your people with professional development and training. Professional development is a great way to upskill your workforce, increase engagement and improve retention.

While face-to-face learning experiences are certainly valuable, only sending your team members to courses or engaging consultants for training can be costly, time-consuming and inconsistent. Online learning adds another layer of richness to employee engagement and experience.

The right Learning Management System is an affordable way to give your people access to an abundance of training for them to complete at their own pace or in your required timeframes.
