Webinar: A Year in Review - 2024

Includes a Live Web Event on 12/19/2024 at 1:00 PM (EST)

Consider the ongoing shift in the way public sector agencies approach hiring and retaining top talent, as more government entities shift to more skill-based hiring and in-person work while cutting degree requirements and trying to provide the flexibility that employees crave. 

Public sector employees still very much value flexibility in terms of how, when and where they work, as a way to maintain a sense of work/life balance and overall well-being in the face of the personal and professional challenges they face every day — work-related stress, family and financial concerns, and an increasingly contentious political environment, just to name a few.

These are just some of the stories that PSHRA and Public Eye, PSHRA’s bimonthly digital publication, kept tabs on throughout 2024. Join us at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2024, when we will recap some of the biggest trends and developments that shaped public sector HR over the past 12 months.

  • Courtney Cangemi, MSHRM, PHR, SHRM-CP, PSHRA-SCP, Director of Human Resources, City of Gallatin, TN
