Government Impact
In this episode of Weaver: Government Impact, host Todd Hoffman, along with Weaver’s Brett Nabors, partner, IT Advisory, and Morgan Page, partner-in-charge, Digital Transformation and Automation, explore the critical challenge of preparing the future workforce in government sectors. The discussion revolves around adapting to rapid technological changes and addressing skill gaps and evolving compensation models to stay competitive. This episode is a must-listen for those interested in workforce development and technology integrations in the public sector.
Key Points:
- Bridging skill and competency gaps in government workforces is achieved through targeted cross-training and strategic external hiring.
- Maintaining legacy systems while integrating new technologies balances traditional and modern IT needs in government.
- Adapting compensation models helps governments remain competitive and attract skilled professionals in a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
The podcast delves into the complexities of preparing a future-ready government workforce. It highlights the challenges of retiring employees, the lack of succession planning and the rapid pace of technological advancement. The conversation with Brett and Morgan provides insights into how governments can bridge skill gaps internally through cross-training and externally through strategic hiring while addressing pay pressures to compete with the commercial sector.
“Your Gen AI is now your level one. And so whenever I think about preparing your future workforce, some of that is resetting those levels,” Morgan said. “Where can Gen AI take over level one or level two? How can you leverage technology…? The other part when we’re talking about preparing our future workforce … you can’t prepare them for everything.” This shift towards leveraging technology like Gen AI redefines the government workforce’s skill levels and roles.
