The ESADE Alumni People Management and Organisation Club invites you to this talk about human resources management in public companies, illustrated by successful case studies.
Public-sector companies, like private companies, develop models to help achieve their national and international business goals whilst enabling them to provide efficient, quality public service, in an increasingly competitive and changing context. In addition to all this, the rules of the game are different from those of the private sector, although this does not prevent them from trying to recruit, retain and develop the best talent.
This talk will focus on issues such as globalisation, strategies for bargaining with workers’ representatives, successful redimensioning, how they create employer brands, and how they are implementing digitisation.
The audience will discover first hand, from the experience and knowledge of the speakers, how the best possible HR strategies are designed and implemented in circumstances with limited financial possibilities and certain rules of the game. These experiences are applicable to both public-sector and private companies.
