Department of Premier and Cabinet - Annual Report 2010-11 126 Human Resources activities

Recruitment policies and programs The Department aims to be an ‘employer of choice’ by offering current and prospective employees challenging and rewarding employment opportunities and by applying contemporary employment practices. Recruitment practices and procedures are conducted in accordance with the State Service Act 2000, including the State Service Commissioner's Directions. During the reporting period the Department has developed an Establishment Management Policy which has further strengthened the Department’s vacancy control processes. The Department has also continued to provide family-friendly employment options through a variety of flexible working arrangements including part-time employment, flexible working hours, working from home, leave without pay, flexible work agreements and access to the State Service Accumulated Leave Scheme (SSALS). A number of employees were also able to access the Department’s working from home policy for short periods either to assist them in their return to work from injury or illness or to investigate the potential for improved service delivery.

Staff Development DPAC is committed to being a challenging and supportive place to work and a place that develops and fosters its people. The Performance Management and Development (PMD) program continues to provide a mechanism to assess employee performance, identify tasks that employees need to undertake over the coming year, develop plans to further develop skills and potential, and reward performance. The intent of the PMD program is to:  integrate corporate, division and individual planning and performance management  identify the standards of performance expected from employees  improve communication at all levels  provide regular documented feedback on performance to all employees  identify and address under performance  recognise and reward effective and high performance. The PMD process is fundamental to ensuring staff in DPAC are given every opportunity to develop their skills and potential to deliver on the Department’s goals. During the year the Department’s leadership group continued to participate in a leadership development program aimed at improving our leadership capability and related skills.

Workplace diversity The Department's Workplace Diversity Plan is aimed at achieving a harmonious and productive workplace. The plan’s features are:  an overall DPAC Workplace Diversity statement  definition of workplace diversity  assignment of responsibilities for raising staff awareness of the program and principles of workplace diversity  how the workplace diversity program will be achieved  creation of related policies and procedures including: - grievance policy and procedures - recruitment and promotion procedures - occupational health and safety strategies - promotion of the counselling service.

Department of Premier and Cabinet - Annual Report 2010-11 127

Internal grievance procedures The Department’s grievance policy and procedure incorporates the principles of natural justice and is designed to address grievances at the earliest possible stage to avoid an escalation to a formal grievance process. It is expected that through consultation, cooperation and discussion, amicable resolutions will be achieved. Occupational health and safety strategies DPAC is committed to providing a workplace that is safe and healthy and promotes health and wellbeing for all employees, contractors and consultants. The objective is to minimise the risk of death or injury to departmental employees, consultants and contractors through:  safe workplaces  safe and healthy work systems  staff being aware of, understanding, supporting and being committed to the health and safety of themselves and other employees  complying with legislative requirements relating to health and safety of staff in the workplace.

Aboriginal Lands Council of Tasmania Fund The Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania Fund was established under section 21 of the Aboriginal Lands Act 1995, with funding provided to them through this grant program. This grant enables the Council to fulfil its statutory obligations outlined in section 22 of the Act, by assisting with operating costs, co-ordination and land management activities associated with returned land. The Council is a statutory body, established under the Act, set up to hold title of ‘returned’ land on behalf of the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. The Act promotes reconciliation with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community by granting Aboriginal people parcels of land that are of cultural significance. In 1995 the Council was provided with funding at a level of $85,000 for 4020 hectares of land. This was increased in 2002-03 by $68 000 and again in 2005-06 by a further $71 000 specific to land management responsibilities arising from the hand back of Cape Barren Island and Clarke Island, bringing the total to $224 000 per annum for management of total land holdings of approximately 55 617 hectares. A hand back in 2006 of 9.2 hectares of Bruny Island is included in this amount, although it was not accompanied by an adjustment in funding. The Act confers responsibilities for the Council to sustainably manage the returned lands on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Tasmanian Aboriginal community. There are no suggested changes to the objectives of the grant for the coming year.

On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. It's the day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future.
