Local government has a crucial role to play in creating sustainable communities. It has the responsibility to lead the local community, reflecting and responding to the needs and priorities of the local people it serves. It brings together a wide range of services to deliver the outcomes that matter to local communities. To ensure the continued delivery of and improvement in public services, this panel discussion will offer insight into how other agencies are managing employee recruitment and retaining challenges. The intent is to share leadership and management strategies that any agency can use to develop high performing teams, balancing the needs of the local agencies with those of the wider community.
