The government's most important resource is its workforce -- that has never been more clear than in 2020 when public sector employees weathered huge increases in demand for services despite extraordinary circumstances.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated technology adoption in state and local governments, the need for employees who are equipped with the right skills has never been more important.
Government Technology's second Future of Work conversation had their panel discuss key parts of government strategy including:
- How to assess your team's current skillsets
- How to prepare a strategic training program to build the right skillsets internally and acquire the right skillsets externally
- How to measure success
- How to ensure you have a solid plan to evolve as technologies and priorities change
