Municipalities are under constant pressure to perform more with staff. So, employee engagement in this sector is lower than in the private sector. One proven response to this challenge is to improve the level of the workforce. Not only will work improve, but it can also help elevate public opinion about government.
Depending on how your municipality is incorporated, you may have to engage police and emergency response, transit workers (and deal with their respective unions), labourers, students and seasonal workers, as well as administrators, research and policy analysts and a host of other types of employees. To complicate matters even further, this usually needs to be done under the watchful eye of city councillors and the media, which often take what seems to be a confrontational approach to city administration.
Join Sean Fitzpatrick, as he relays his extensive experience in measuring and improving employee engagement in municipalities across Canada and the United States. Sean will address concrete issues such as building the case for engagement in municipalities, techniques to maximize participation in engagement surveys, how to engage union membership, engagement issues affecting different types of employees, and managing city council and the media.
