People engagement is such a huge agenda and we need to focus on what’s universal, what unites us, what's likely to be successful, what will help departments in Scotland embrace the Vision to become a brilliant civil service and support us in being a great place to work.

The Engagement and Culture network have designed a discovery session to get you thinking about these questions:

'engagement' what does it mean to you?
what makes you feel a sense of commitment and achievement?
what stops you feeling you’re part of something important?

The session will cover practical steps to boost people engagement in your workplace it will be interactive, varied and informative, and is open to all grades.

There will be speakers from the Insolvency Service, sharing best practice –on how they saw an improvement in people engagement and how small steps made a difference!

This is an opportunity for Civil Servants to connect and collaborate across departmental boundaries helping to make us a truly engaged workplace.

Collaboration with colleagues across government also offers a fantastic Networking opportunity.
