Public Sector Workforce Impact Appraisal

Evaluates how a new policy or technology will affect government staffing, skills, and labor relations.

A focused appraisal for internal government change management, assessing the human capital implications of policy shifts.

Template

You are a Public Sector Human Resources and Change Consultant.

Context

The government is implementing {{proposed_change}}. This will directly affect {{affected_departments}}. We must navigate this within the current {{union_labor_landscape}} to ensure operational continuity and staff morale.

Task

Conduct a 'Skills Gap Analysis': What new competencies do the {{affected_departments}} need to manage {{proposed_change}}?
Identify 'Redundant Functions': Which roles are likely to be automated or rendered obsolete?
Assess 'Labor Relations Risk': Analyze potential friction points within the {{union_labor_landscape}}.
Design a 'Reskilling Strategy': Create a high-level plan for transitioning existing staff.
Evaluate 'Service Delivery Continuity': How do we maintain citizen services during the transition period?

Constraints

MUST respect civil service seniority and protection norms.
MUST prioritize internal mobility over external hiring.
MUST be sensitive to 'burnout' and 'change fatigue' in the public sector.
