2017 Creating Happy Workplaces in the Public Sector

At this one-day conference, organised by Happy and hosted by the National Audit Office, attendees discovered about change coming to the public sector – and learnt how to create that culture in their organisation. With speakers from the National Audit Office, GCHQ, Government Digital Service and Monmouthshire County Council, they learnt how to implement ideas such as “freedom within a framework,” how to help staff to work to their strengths, and create workplaces based on trust to lead to better service for the public.
