Thank the heavens, the Australian election is this Saturday 7 September - this has been the longest run up to the election ever, and after eight months I'm sure we're all very, very over it! So let's have one last political hurrah and discuss state politics and people management.
Looking outside of organisational politics, this discussion will focus on state politics (not the state region but government administration). Politics is all about citizens, and can affect everything about how an organisation works. It can impact budgets, start and stop projects, import talent and protect talent - there is so much power in it. And yet, we hardly ever acknowledge HR & people managers as important political participators. I think this is a taboo we need to explore.
The chat will be Thursday 12 September, starting at 7pm AEST, 6:30pm ACST and 5pm AWST. Just make sure to pop a #OzHR in your tweet so we can see it!
This week's questions are:
1. How much do you consciously bring state politics into your workplace? Why/why not?
2. What civil political issues do you think affect people management? Does this influence your political involvement?
3. Can someone be a good people manager if they're not politically conscious? Why/why not?
4. Does political participation, or could it, make people management more effective in organisations?
See you then,
Sarah
