C HIEF E XECUTIVE O FFICER’ S D IVISION Chief Executive Officer’s Division Human Resources Manager: Maureen M Gallagher About our Employees The Town of Vincent is committed to being an ‘Employer of Choice’ and recognises the important contribution to be made by an experienced and skilled workforce in achieving the Town’s goals. The Town’s premise is that to sustain a high level of performance, the Town must provide an appropriate organisational environment, a means of ensuring the organisation is capable of meeting its goals, and the motivation to do so. The Town is also aware of the need for a strategy to support Council’s commitment to sustainability and the responsible governance of economic, environmental and social issues. This requires a holistic approach to organisational health, safety, diversity and well-being and the implementation of programmes that support a work/life balance for the Town’s employees. The Town has corporate goals to raise the profile of equal opportunity and affirmative action within the organisation. These goals ensure that all employees enjoy a workplace that is free from harassment and discrimination and that they have access to a fair and efficient grievance review process. Recruitment The Town’s employee turnover remained similar to previous years, at 12.95% and is approximately 6% below the industry average. Staff Development and Training The operational employees have participated in training in Traffic Management, Heavy Vehicle/tractor Driving and Risk Management (care of the back and spine). Administrative staff had training sessions in customer service. All Risk Management training sessions were conducted by Health on the Move. Other employees have attended several seminars, conferences and workshops. Occupational Safety and Health The Town’s Safety and Health Committee continued to meet on a regular basis throughout the year. Training sessions, including Safety Orientation, are on an ongoing basis for inside and outside staff. In September 2004 the Town received a Bronze Award for its Occupational Safety and Health Desktop Audit, conducted by Local Government Insurance Services.Skin Cancer Assessments were carried out by 'Health on the Move' in-house. 118 staff members availed themselves of this opportunity. Skin Cancer Assessments were carried out by ‘Health on the Move’ in-house with 70 employees availing themselves of this opportunity. The Town’s Employment Assistance Programme (EAP) with OSA Group was renewed and is still being well utilised. This programme provides free counselling to employees and Elected Members and their families. Utilisation during this financial year was 12.1 per cent, with 18 referrals overall. Industrial Relations It is pleasing to report that the Town has continued to maintain an industrial dispute-free record, with no industrial disputes reported since the creation of the Town on 1 July 1994. Performance Appraisals continue to be conducted on an annual basis for all staff and training needs are then highlighted. A comprehensive review of all policies relating to human resources and occupational safety and health was carried out in late 2004. A new Human Resources Policy Manual was adopted at the Council meeting held on 21 December 2004. 10 TOWN OF VINCENT _ A NNUAL R EPORT 2004-2005
