Our people Catholic Healthcare aims to have a workplace culture that fosters respect in all aspects of the organisation. We are proud of our people and their commitment to Catholic Healthcare’s mission, to promote life in all its fullness. When asked about the value of respect, General Manager, Human Resources, Sam Galluccio, said, “The value of respect is fundamental to the way people in our workplaces relate to one another. Respect is the key guiding principle for the way in which managers role model appropriate standards of behaviour, and where necessary, respectfully hold to account those who do not abide by those standards and expectations.” Workforce profiles SCHOLARSHIPS PROMOTE EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION In the rapidly changing aged, health and community environment, it is imperative that we continually strive to increase the capability and competency of the Catholic Healthcare workforce to ensure residents, clients and patients receive excellent care. It is with this goal of continuous improvement in mind that Catholic Healthcare this year introduced the Catholic Healthcare Scholarship Fund and the Catholic Healthcare Innovation Fund, both initiatives of Catholic Healthcare’s Managing Director, David Maher. The Catholic Healthcare Scholarship Fund provides funding for existing Catholic Healthcare staff members, regardless of their position, to undertake further studies relevant to their work. The Catholic Healthcare Innovation Fund provides funding to support innovation within Catholic Healthcare’s operations. The scholarships will be offered annually and applicants will be selected based on merit. David Maher, Managing Director, said, “We are delighted to introduce the Scholarship Fund and the Innovation Fund and are grateful to our generous donors who have made this initiative possible. Through education, we will further develop our people, and, in turn, grow in excellence as an organisation committed to delivering the very best for residents and clients.” Category 2012/2013 Employees 4,122 Male 633 Female 3,489 Full-time 750 Part-time 2,435 Casual 937 Length of service 0-2 Years 1,750 3-5 years 960 Over 5 years 1,412 Age profile Up to 40 1,360 41-50 years 1,089 Over 50 years 1,673 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT 24
“We attend to the dignity of each person providing healthcare as a fundamental good.” Professor Jack Flanagan, Chair, Trustees of Catholic Healthcare INFORMATION SYSTEMS In September 2012, Catholic Healthcare celebrated the implementation of the new combined Human Resources and Payroll system called CHRIS 21 . This complex and challenging project involved many different system configuration and change management elements, including data migration processes from the old systems. The outcome is a state-of-art and comprehensive human resources system with contemporary functionality across payroll, Workforce Health and Safety (WHS) management, and general employment administration. More recently, the WHS module of CHRIS 21 was configured to the organisation’s requirements and implemented to provide a more effective process for managing the various aspects of workplace injuries, workers compensation and return to work activities. NEW CHAIR OF TRUSTEES, PROFESSOR JACK FLANAGAN The Trustees of Catholic Healthcare appointed Professor Jack Flanagan as their new Chair of Trustees in January 2013. Professor Flanagan succeeded Sr Joanne Kirk RSM who was a Trustee of Catholic Healthcare from February 2004 until 31 December, 2012 and who served as Chair of Trustees for the past eight and a half years. Professor Flanagan became a Trustee of Catholic Healthcare in 2009 and served as Vice Chair from 2011 until his appointment as Chair. Professor Flanagan is an Emeritus Professor of Accounting at Australian Catholic University, an Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for Accounting and Assurance Research, Australian School of Business, UNSW and on the adjunct faculty at the AGSM. When asked to share his thoughts on Catholic Healthcare’s mission, Professor Flanagan, said, “...To my mind the mission is to follow the inspiration of Jesus as healer. The mission of Catholic Healthcare emphasises the Catholic tradition. Aspects most important to me are, firstly, that we emphasise the whole person and provide hope and social relationships for our residents, clients and patients. Secondly, we attend to the dignity of each person providing healthcare as a fundamental good necessary for individual development. Thirdly, we take a sacramental view of healthcare, where everyone can experience God’s grace.” Professor Flanagan believes the organisation has a responsibility to those who receive services, to use its resources effectively, and to create excellent healthcare that is valued by residents, patients and clients. Professor Flanagan said, “I think we need to be explicit about the Catholic identity of the organisation. This allows us to resist market pressures and any tendency to submit to societal pressures to ignore the poor... We need to monitor the range of impacts that we have to ensure we are doing what we plan to do and pick up on specific outcomes, such as less anxiety, homelessness or drug-taking among the people that we serve. Also we should look at spillover effects, such as increased general health, sense of wellbeing, sense of self, connectedness, and engagement in meaningful activities.” Catholic Healthcare looks forward to continued growth and development under the guidance of its Trustees led by Professor Jack Flanagan. 25
