The world of work has changed forever as employees across the nation, including in city government, continue to reconsider their job and career choices. Moreover, unprecedented demographic changes are transforming the workforce and workplace.  

To attract and retain talent in this challenging environment, cities must become employers of choice. That means being a great place to work. 

Great places to work have cultures where employees trust their leaders, have pride in what they do and enjoy the people they work with. Research conducted by the UKG Great Place to Work Institute on more than 100 million employee surveys has revealed nine leadership behaviors that will build trust and create great places to work. In this session, Bob Lavigna, Senior Public Fellow with UKG will describe the recruiting and retention challenges – and solutions – in our new world of work, including identifying and describing the nine critically important leadership behaviors that enable organizations to become employers of choice. A key message is that creating a great place to work is not just HR’s job – it’s a leadership responsibility.
