<strong>Waverley</strong> <strong>Council</strong><br />

Meeting Our Statutory Requirements<br />

Human Resource Activities undertaken by <strong>Council</strong> during <strong>2005</strong>/<strong>2006</strong> (continued)<br />

Corruption Prevention Initiatives<br />

We prepared and commenced the implementation of the Corruption Prevention Plan <strong>2006</strong>/2009 with<br />

strategies covering Planning and Development Assessment, Employment Practices, Financial<br />

Management, Tendering and Contractor Management, Governance and Information Technology.<br />

Internal Consulting<br />

Following <strong>Council</strong>’s organisational restructure, the Employee Services Section was restructured into<br />

the Human Resources & Organisational Development Division (HR&OD). A key component of the<br />

restructure was the formation of two teams to work directly with nominated divisions within <strong>Council</strong> to<br />

provide internal HR consulting services.<br />

Employee communication activities during the year included:<br />

Provision of information sessions to support the organisation restructure.<br />

Continuation of ‘Pipeline’ – <strong>Council</strong>’s monthly staff newsletter.<br />

Development and implementation of an employee wiki.<br />

Provision of information sessions to support the finalisation of the Resource Recovery Enterprise<br />

Agreement and the introduction of the new Employee Assistance Program.<br />
