Benefits for the Public Sector

Thanks to the breadth of WIG’s membership, you gain new perspectives on the challenges facing business and wider civil society – to help create policy that works for a wide range of stakeholders.

The long-lasting connections you make and the opportunity to hear briefings from leaders at businesses, academic institutions and not-for-profits help you to understand how public sector decisions affect people on the ground.

WIG is a trusted environment where you can contribute to discussions, sometimes at the most senior level – alongside other organisations who are very likely to have challenges similar to your own. These can help you to understand and contribute to a ‘whole systems’ approach to the challenges we face as a society.

When your organisation is a member of WIG, it also gives you a chance to help make links across the wider public sector. For example, you get the chance to attend events with high-profile speakers, such as Permanent Secretaries and Director Generals – alongside colleagues from beyond the departments you deal with day-to-day.

As an active WIG member, you can develop your people’s careers – via additional services such as our cross-sector leadership programmes, which are bookable via Government Campus.

At the same time, we’re trusted by our public sector members to develop their people’s talent and expertise through tailored placements and matching services. We’ve been doing this for a long time: we started life as a civil service secondment scheme over 35 years ago.

Membership gives you discounts on these programmes and services.
