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: 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 (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.
