OVERVIEW
There are more than 2 million public sector employees in Australia, influencing every part of our lives, whether they be health professionals, educators, first responders, librarians or administrators processing our payments. Most are exceptional in their work; others are doing their best.
Unfortunately, in recent times, through Royal Commissions, Inquiries, and the Respect@Work Report, we have seen evidence of some unacceptable behaviours. These unacceptable behaviours have wide-ranging impacts on staff, clients and the community, and do not reflect the majority of the public sector. But how can we ensure the best, and most appropriate behaviours (culture) in our organisations?
​
Organisational culture is, at its core, about behaviours in the workplace. This two-day workshop will help you:
-
Identify the dominant cultures in your workplace
-
Assess whether these cultures are appropriate, and if not, what steps you can take to change the culture in your team, or your organisation
-
Consider how workplace legislation sets the standard for your organisation’s operations and staff management
-
Develop a culture program that will support your organisation or team achieve its objectives
