To support our staff, both ongoing and nonongoing, the Commission has mapped the phases of an employee lifecycle with key activities and initiatives that interact with each phase: workforce planning, attraction, recruitment and selection, onboarding, learning and development, performance development, recognition, workplace relations and offboarding. This coordinated approach and people programs planned will enhance the experience of each employee at the Commission. Each phase is underpinned by a commitment to build a healthy, safe, respectful and inclusive work environment. The Commission has adopted a strengthened approach to workforce planning with the consolidation of the Commission’s establishment across all sections to identify our current and future workforce profile.
