We know that there are many modes of learning. One that has been spoken about in recent episodes as critically important is on-the-job learning and how, knowledge sharing between peers, even from different areas of an organisation, can help fuel new ideas and ways of working. Another important learning and development opportunity in the APS is mobility. In our latest episode, Sam Palmer joins us to discuss this and so much more on the topic of learning organisations. Sam is Secretary and a Fellow of IPAA and currently serves as APS reviewer on the independent capability review of the Commonwealth Department of Education on secondment from Austrade.

Listen in as Subho Banerjee, Deputy Commissioner of the Australian Public Service and Head of the APS Academy and Capability, joins Andy to discuss continuous learning, and provide his unique perspectives, drawing on his vast experience across the public and private sectors. In this episode, Subho explains what continuous learning looks like and outlines some of the fantastic learning opportunities he has experienced that have benefited his career. He also provides an overview of the components of the APS continuous learning model, the importance of building adaptability skills across all levels in the public sector, and how to overcome challenges he has seen in becoming a learning organisation.

Our fourth episode focuses on the pivotal transformational change that organisations must embrace, which is playing the new talent game. This episode will dive into the essential factors in what it takes to attract, retain and reduce employee attrition in the public sector.

In this episode, Andy talks with Tina McAllister, Acting Director of People and Culture at the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries for the Queensland Government.

In episode four, we dive deep into the fourth dimension which is occupational health and the employee experience. COVID pushed many organisations into different ways of thinking about how and where we work. With employee attrition being a key challenge that many organisations are facing worldwide; this may be the most fundamental component of organisational health in our series.

To help explain what design thinking is and how it can be used to design a good employee experience that engages and empowers an organisation's workforce, Rodger Watson joins us.
