Strategic Plan 2007-2011
Aim: CQU will have an organisational culture that
encourages and supports collaboration throughout
the University. University staff will deliver services that
students and clients value and which delight them.
CQUniversity’s future success will in a substantial way depend upon the skills,
energy and commitment of our staff. Attracting, developing, rewarding and retaining
a workforce of the highest quality and providing a working environment that enables
staff to maximise their capacity to contribute to the achievement of the University’s
mission and goals is vitally important to the sustainability of the institution.

Staff in the Division of Human Resources provide advice to managers across the
University in respect to the interpretation and implementation of the relevant
enterprise agreements and human resource policies and procedures. These
agreements and policies have been constructed to ensure that the University abides
by the applicable Workplace Relations Legislation. Focusing on low level resolution
of workplace matters, a case management approach is employed to ensure that
employee relations are managed effectively across the University.
A number of milestones have been achieved by staff in the Division of Human
Resources during 2008 that have addressed matters raised by the Australian
Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) and CQUniversity strategic priorities.
