How Strategic Government HR Leaders Are Attracting the Next-Gen, Driving Talent Mobility & Adapting HR Practices To Remain Competitive With the Private Sector
Returning for it’s seventh year, the LEAP HR: State & Local Government Summit was the most exclusive and senior forum dedicated to uniting HR leaders in all State, City and County Government in the US.
Designed by and for the most senior HR professionals working in the public sector, this summit was your best opportunity to hear how the most forward-thinking leaders have been staying agile through change to attract the next-gen, drive talent mobility and transform HR practices to stay competitive with the private sector.
20+ case studies revealed how State and Local Government leaders are becoming more creative in their strategies to engage and retain their public sector workforce, enhancing performance and talent management in government HR with career pathways and data driven insights, revamping compensation and benefits, adapting to change with future focused strategy and more.
I really appreciated the size of the event that provided an opportunity to network with other HR directors from around the country. Additionally, the presentations on best practice and innovations in public sector HR were very relevant to the work I do. Great job. I would definitely recommend this event to my peers locally.
Brooke Stream, Director of Human Resources, City of Henderson
Loved the format and flow. Grouping short, concise presentations with one Q&A session was excellent. I also appreciated how you built in time for networking.
