Overview

September 17

Watch Now

Creating a positive work culture has never been more important. The U.S. labor market is experiencing a significant shortage as employees quit their jobs in record numbers, many due to realizations during the pandemic that they wanted to do something different.

The stakes are high for state and local government agencies – many of whom have long struggled to attract younger generations of workers – as they compete for new talent. One successful strategy is to modernize the employee life cycle and optimize human resources processes. A dedicated, best-of-breed solution for human capital management can be a critical tool for agencies as they look to make better hiring decisions, plan labor more accurately, modernize internal processes for greater accuracy and efficiency, safeguard sensitive personal information and create a culture of continuous learning to compete for top talent.

Join Government Technology on September 17 at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern as our experts from Ceridian, OnActuate and Arctic IT discuss how you can optimize and empower your workforce with best-in-breed employee management.
