How can human resource management be used to enhance productivity in the public sector?
International Research Seminar with Professor Alex Bryson
2-4pm, Thursday 6th May 2021
There is a substantial literature indicating that private sector firms and their employees can both benefit from various Human Resources Management practices. Concerns regarding productivity in the public sector have led to government initiatives to promote these practices in the public sector. At our forthcoming International Research Seminar, Alex Bryson of the Social Research Institute University College London will consider how well these practices translate to the public sector.
Drawing on recent research Alex will show that some of these practices can be beneficial for public sector employers while others are not. In contrast these practices tend not to be associated with positive outcomes for public sector employees. Alex will also consider the implications of these findings for public policy.
