78 Disclosures and Legal Compliance Scholarship program The Department’s Scholarship Program provides financial support for those employees wishing to undertake further study. The program reinforces the Department as a learning organisation by valuing formal study; it builds required skills and competencies within the workforce and is a tool to attract and retain staff for the many challenges ahead. Twenty-seven employees were successful in their application for a scholarship for the 2009 academic year. Succession planning Our formal mentoring program matches experienced senior managers and leaders with employees seeking to broaden their knowledge and skills and advance their careers. This program continues to grow in popularity with all our employees. Mentors are trained and they provide guidance and challenge thinking to develop confidence, skills and abilities. This year, 70 people are participating in the program. Developing leadership capability We continued to implement strategies which contribute towards identifying desired leadership principles and behaviours, creating a shared vision and engendering a strong commitment to a consistent approach to leading the organisation. Forty-five of our employees are currently undertaking either Certificate IV in Frontline Management or a Diploma of Management. This includes three regional staff participating online. The program is designed to ensure that staff at lower to mid levels who progress to supervisory positions have the support and skills to enable them to effectively and efficiently carry out their roles. Personal and professional development The Department’s formal Performance Development Review process offers the opportunity for all employees to discuss job performance, the key skills and behaviours that drive success and future career and development needs. Employees can then access a wide range of development opportunities, which ensures a skilled and qualified workforce. Employee assistance CentreCare Corporate provides independent and confidential counselling services to our employees and their families. Of those attending to date, 81 per cent accessed the service for personal reasons, and 19 per cent for work-related issues. Peer support program Our peer support officers are trained volunteers who provide a confidential service by listening, providing practical support, and offering information and referral on the availability of services to their colleagues. These volunteers meet regularly during the year and undertake a range of training designed to enhance their communication skills. This ensures a high quality service and continuous improvement.
Youth employment To address the issues of an ageing population and workforce, this year our graduate program doubled in size. Currently, we have 37 graduates with a wide range of qualifications, participating in our formal training and development program. We commenced a school-based Indigenous traineeship program in conjunction with the community-based organisation SMYL. This program offers young Indigenous people the opportunity to work part time over an 18-month period while undertaking study. Cadetships provide students in their third or fourth year of an urban and regional planning (or related) degree to work part time and gain practical skills and knowledge while completing their qualification. We continued to employ young trainees through the Department of the Premier and Cabinet’s business traineeship scheme, and gave five young people the opportunity to gain a qualification in the marine and transport areas. Disclosures and Legal Compliance Workers’ Compensation Compliance The Department’s legal obligation is to provide injury management support to all workers who sustain a work-related injury or illnesses with a focus on a safe and early return to meaningful work in accordance with the Workers’ Compensation Act 1981. The injury management system was developed in consultation with employees and management and is reviewed at regular intervals for effectiveness and legislative compliance. The injury management system stipulates that: • All team leaders and managers are responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the injury management system. Support is provided by the Return to Work (RTW) Injury Management Coordinator (IMC). • All workers are expected to participate and support the Injury Management System. • Workers retain the right to choose a treating practitioner and vocational rehabilitation provider (if one is required) following consultation with the IMC and treating medical practitioner. • The RTW programs are developed in accordance with the ACT requirements. The Department provides access to Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management information on its intranet site. 79
