Annual Report 1999 - 2000
Performance management and staff development
The Commission implemented a Performance Management Scheme for all staff from 1 July 1999. The scheme is intended to strengthen and support the Commission in performing its functions by providing regular and formal assessment of employees' work performance and to provide employees with skill development and career advancement opportunities. A review of the Commission's Performance Management Scheme guidelines, to evaluate its effectiveness and the need to make changes to how it is operating, is planned after completion of the first cycle (1 July 1999 to 30 June 2000.
The Commission's Certified Agreement 2000-2002 also recognises the need to provide adequate training support to accompany changes, innovations or improvements to work arrangements. This is of particular importance with ongoing changes in the Information Technology field where staff are provided with relevant and ongoing computer training.
The Certified Agreement also supports access to the Commission's Studies Assistance policy, where study is relevant to the work of the Commission, an individual's work reponsibilities and where it assists with ongoing career development. Staff who have been unable to complete schooling or commence tertiary studies due to personal circumstances are encouraged to apply for assistance.
