Published 30 October 2015

Government agencies are facing the loss of experienced talent as older generations of workers retire, while budgets shrink and the workforce becomes increasingly dispersed. Given this reality, how can agencies preserve the knowledge base of the experienced workforce, and pass that knowledge on to younger workers in new ways, with fewer resources?

This TD at Work will answer the following questions:

What is a distributed workforce, and what are its challenges?
How can agencies develop a strategic training plan for the future?
Which format of training is best for a distributed workforce?
How might the training needs of a distributed workforce continue to evolve?
