3.5 Workshop:

Workforce and Mission: How to get the Best from Ourselves and Others

Presenter: Mr Tony Farley, Executive Director, Catholic Commission for Employment Relations

As leaders of Catholic organisations, we’re called to drive excellence and mission in our work. But how are the two intrinsically linked?

This workshop will explore this question by focussing on three areas; refocussing on mission, the importance of professional standards and the centrality of collaboration. What is the mission of your organisation and how does it link to a lived relationship with Jesus and the Gospel? How do professional standards help to ground that mission in the reality of everyday work? And what role does collaboration play in creating a strong, engaged workforce and ensuring the collective capabilities of the broader church are utilised?
