As the year comes to an end, join NEOGOV in a review of the lessons and challenges HR leaders faced this past year and where they’re planning to focus their efforts and budgets in 2021. Looking across the entire employee journey, they will examine the top 10 trends in public sector HR that will shape the coming year.

Now more than ever, HR leaders are in a powerful position to create real systemic change by ensuring every member of society gets a fair shot at employment opportunities. Partnering with IPMA-HR, we are excited to share some of the latest approaches public sector and higher education organizations can use to attract highly qualified, diverse applicants and ensure they are fairly evaluated by eliminating blindspots where bias exists.

Gallagher will go over the results of the 2020 Benefits Strategy and Benchmarking survey with an emphasis on the public sector market. The webinar will also cover the latest trends in the market and how organizations are adapting to the evolving labor market in the new COVID-19 world.

As people work virtually while navigating the Coronavirus, communication complications increase, challenges multiply, and people are on edge. The way people communicate during these difficult times will determine their success or failure. Now, more than ever before, it’s critical that people effectively address behaviors that negatively impact individuals, teams, and organizations. Whether facing challenging team dynamics, mismanaged expectations or good old-fashioned bad behavior, implementing a Safe Conversations communication framework will foster greater innovation, inclusion and collaboration within your team and organization.

**Due to high demands/interests, we are opening up the roundtable to more members; if you cannot attend it today, we you also receive the session recording shortly after and we are going to offer it again very soon.*** Join us for IPMA-HR's First Virtual Roundtable discussion on how Public Sector HR Organizations are handling coronavirus in the workplace.

​In the last four years, over 750 police and corrections officers have taken their own lives. In some years, twice as many as line of duty deaths. The numbers are staggering. Discover what you can do to help prevent this tragedy from happening in your department in this critical webinar. Tom Famolare, a retired detective from the Boston Police Department (BPD) has developed a “nuts and bolts” program to assist departments throughout Massachusetts to address this tragic subject. What was once taboo to talk about is becoming a subject none of us can ignore. Gone are the days of “he/she was cleaning their gun and it went off,” when everything was swept under the rug and never talked about. One of Famolare’s last assignments at the BPD was with the Peer Support Unit as critical incident debriefing team coordinator. He has firsthand knowledge of and experience with the effects critical incidents have on our officers — effects that sometimes lead to the ultimate tragedy: suicide. Famolare will present the training used by the Massachusetts Training Committee at academies throughout the state.
