The operating environment of the Public Service is undergoing fundamental and rapid change. As the needs and aspirations of our workforce change, we need a strategic and integrated approach to transform employee experience by placing our employees at the centre, and integrating across HR, technology and workspace ecosystems in a manner that best meets the needs of the Public Service and our people. We want to transform: • How we work to achieve greater productivity, agility and innovation; • The skills and mindsets of our workforce to ensure our people can continue to thrive; • Our workplace towards one that is flexible and collaborative, with strong support for officers’ well-being so that they can flourish. Key Responsibilities Reporting to the Deputy Director, you will be responsible for driving the employee experience strategy for public officers, together with partners within PSD and across the Whole-of-Government (WOG). You will need to formulate new strategies and initiatives to strengthen the experience of officers across the Public Service, during which you may be required to inter alia conduct user research, engage key stakeholders, drive strategic employee experience initiatives, as well as review relevant HR policies. You will be part of a dynamic and passionate team working towards enhancing productivity, collaboration, growth, well-being and flexibility in the Public Service.

[Specific Areas of Responsibilities] Strategy and Stakeholder Engagement – You will formulate the overarching strategy for employee experience across the Public Service by inter alia (i) understanding key developments or trends in HR, technology and workplace ecosystems, (ii) conducting research, focus group discussions and/or surveys. You will also translate this strategy into reality by working closely with key internal stakeholders (e.g. WOG public agencies) as well as external stakeholders (vendors, community partners) to drive initiatives that enhance our employee experience. You will be responsible for coordinating across relevant stakeholders to achieve better integration of our programmes, processes and technologies. You will measure the outcomes of these interventions and evaluate their impact to propose refinements and further implementation plans. Programme and Policy Design – You will work with senior stakeholders and partners from other government agencies to adjust existing HR policies and design strategies to strengthen employee experience outcomes. This could include frameworks, programmes and resources around how we can strengthen a culture of well-being, innovation and productivity in the workplace. Project Implementation – You will lead new employee experience initiatives across the public service, including formulating the parameters to achieve our strategic outcomes. These could include the implementation of technology, productivity and physical office design initiatives.
