I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation 33 which was to, -
‘Better equip the public sector to meet workforce challenges by actively supporting the implementation of Strategic Directions for the Public Sector Workforce (SDPSW) 2009-2014 at both a sector and agency level. Implementation priority should be given to -
(a) improving the quality and effectiveness of agency workforce planning in addressing projected skill and labour requirements, including the application of labour supply and demand side management strategies, service redesign and productivity improvement initiatives; and
(b) implementing new and innovative approaches to attracting, developing and retaining a skilled regional workforce’,
and I ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation 33 have been achieved, -
(a) prepare Outcome Area level implementation plans for the SDPSW in conjunction with Agencies (December 2010);
(b) consult and work with key service delivery Agencies (with a regional presence) to identify three collaborative initiatives that can improve regional capacity and provide coordination support to the implementation of those initiatives (April 2011); andconduct mid and end of strategy reviews of the effectiveness of implementation of SDPSW across the sector (2011 and 2014)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation 33 have not been achieved, why not?
