Executive summary
The ACT Public Service is relatively small and we use our scale to our advantage. Our 9 directorates seek to connect and collaborate to solve policy and service delivery issues and serve our community as efficiently and effectively as possible. Our values, ways of work and our One Service approach act together to enable us to be agile as we respond to continued change in our broader environment.
This report provides an overview of how we are continuing to strengthen our One Service approach while encouraging staff to demonstrate our values of respect, integrity, collaboration and innovation. It highlights achievements, awards and recognition received throughout the reporting period.
This report also shows the ways in which we continue to build a professional, resilient and capable workforce to meet the current and future needs of the community that we serve. It shows how we are progressing our ambition to build a public service that is rich in diversity.
It also shows how we are embedding an inclusive culture where our working relationships are strong and supportive. We remain committed to creating a workforce that reflects the community we serve and are offering equity in employment opportunities. Our progress includes:
- Reducing the gender pay gap – at the end of the reporting year our gender pay gap had reduced to a record low of -0.1%.
- Improving representation across 2 priority diversity employment targets: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people; and people with disability.
- Continued implementation of a dedicated workforce conversion program, to address adverse social and financial effects of insecure work arrangements on workers.
Our workforce management strategies not only help us to attract and retain the right talent but also they enable us to embed agility, resilience and responsiveness in our workforce. We are leveraging our advantage as a small and diverse public service to position our workforce in readiness for future challenges, while continuing to deliver an employment framework that offers progressive conditions for all.
