Course Overview

The Strategic Human Capital Management in the Public Sector Training Course provides a comprehensive strategic framework for managing human capital as a critical driver of government performance, institutional capability, and sustainable public-sector development. The course is designed to help ministries, government entities, public-sector organizations, and public institutions align human capital strategies with institutional objectives, government priorities, and future workforce requirements. Modern public-sector human capital management requires a transition from traditional administrative human resource practices toward a strategic approach focused on workforce capability, talent management, leadership development, performance, employee engagement, and organizational readiness. This course explores how these elements can be integrated into a coherent human capital strategy that supports both current operational requirements and long-term institutional priorities. The program covers the core dimensions of strategic human capital management, including human capital strategy, workforce planning, talent management, competency management, performance management, leadership development, succession planning, career development, employee engagement, workforce capability, and human capital analytics. Participants will learn how to connect these areas with organizational strategy and measurable institutional outcomes. Particular emphasis is placed on the challenges facing public-sector organizations, including organizational transformation, digitalization, changing workforce capabilities, job redesign, talent attraction and retention, knowledge transfer, productivity, and future skills. The course also addresses the role of leadership, governance, workforce data, and evidence-based decision-making in building sustainable human capital capabilities. Through practical exercises, workforce analysis, capability gap assessments, human capital framework development, talent mapping, performance indicator design, strategic case studies, and executive workshops, participants will develop the capabilities required to design and implement an integrated Strategic Human Capital Management framework that strengthens institutional performance, organizational resilience, workforce capability, and future readiness.
