Strategic Workforce Plan 2024-27

LAQ will find better ways to recruit and select staff using contemporary talent acquisition strategies.

Capability development is critical in the changing environment. We will leverage internal talent and foster innovative approaches to leadership.

Our culture needs to support and reward people to think and behave differently by fostering inclusiveness, harnessing diversity and enhancing wellbeing.

LAQ is continuing to grow and respond to increased and changing service demands. We need to be open to new ways of working to respond to this.

1. Increased focus on cultural measurement and tracking progress towards meeting cultural targets
2. Increase our understanding of diversity target groups’ experiences to develop effective strategies to increase their representation
