Capability Framework 101

Price: $462 incl GST
Duration: 9.00am-12.30pm

Course Outline:
In 2017 the LGNSW Capability Framework was approved by the LGNSW board of directors. Since then, councils across the country have been using the framework as a guide to help with recruitment, leadership development, performance, workforce planning, retention, staff development, succession planning, onboarding of elected members and many other processes.

This workshop will explore the many benefits and approaches to adopting the Capability Framework. We will cover the development of the framework, a high-level overview of the framework and then deep dive into the capabilities and how to align it to all areas of the employee lifecycle.

The session is tailored to the group on the day and is interactive, using a range of tools and templates to get you started in the session.

Learn how other councils have rolled out the framework and get a head start on implementation by registering your interest today.

Who should attend:
HR, Learning and Development, Recruitment and senior staff responsible for, or involved in, the development and implementation of a Capability Framework.
