BONUS SESSION: Global Talent Trends: Challenges and Opportunities for the Public Sector

Please join ACCA for a panel discussion centred around the evolving landscape of public sector talent trends, drawing insights from ACCA’s inaugural annual Global Talent Trends Report. This unique look at global public sector talent trends shows a sector in transition, facing many short-term challenges and long-term questions, all set against the backdrop of societies still navigating post-pandemic recovery and dealing with a challenging economic outlook. In conversation with our panel, we’ll discuss the workplace issues and concerns that matter most and address key trends like wage pressure, hybrid working, burnout concerns, mobility and the talent crunch. We’ll also discuss the advantages of a career in public sector finance, and how public service offers the opportunity for a diverse and engaging career. Whether you are navigating decisions regarding long-term career pursuits, hold responsibility for talent management, or are actively shaping the public sector landscape, this session promises an opportunity to gather insights and exchange perspectives. We hope you can join us! Session sponsored by:
