Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Consumer and Business Services, Workplace Culture Consumer and Business Services, Workplace Culture The Hon. B.R. HOOD Legislative Council Consumer and Business Services, Workplace Culture The Hon. B.R. HOOD (15:07): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector on the topic of departmental workplace culture. Leave granted. The Hon. B.R. HOOD Legislative Council The Hon. B.R. HOOD: The Office of the Commissioner of Public Sector Employment conducts an annual People Matter Employee Survey to monitor organisational culture and workplace wellbeing. My question to the minister is: what processes are in place to act upon the annual survey findings from the commissioner, and in relation to the CBS review, does the Attorney-General believe that these processes have failed to identify or address the issues that were found in the report? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Special Minister of State The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:08): I thank the honourable member for his question. Certainly, in relation to the People Matter Employee Survey, I am aware that individual statistics and reports are provided by the commissioner to individual agencies and I understand there are meetings with heads of agencies to go through what the findings are in particular areas to make improvements where they can in particular areas. I am happy to go and check to make sure, but in relation to things like staff satisfaction, CBS in particular and the Attorney-General's Department more generally, did, as they often do, feature quite highly in the People Matter Employee Survey. I am not sure to what extent some of the issues that were raised in the Rosslyn Cox survey of CBS were apparent from the People Matter Employee Survey, but I am happy to go and check to see if there is any data that could have been meaningfully applied. As I say, from my memory both CBS and the Attorney-General's Department more widely did quite well in that People Matter Employee Survey. But if there were things that were there, I am happy to see if that is the case.
