REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
People at DLI
Contribution to the Strategic Planning Framework:
Goal 1 - People and Communities
Goal 2 - The Economy
Goal 5 - Governance
During the year we have continued to develop and prepare our people for DLI's transition to a statutory authority. Self directed learning, choices and organisational change have been the key drivers of our people management initiatives.
Considerable work has been undertaken on the creation of our Values and Behaviours which will underpin the way we work as we move towards a statutory authority. An extensive consultation process with all staff took place in May and June. Forty-one workshops were conducted jointly by managers and HR staff that gave all DLI staff the opportunity to have their say in what our Values/Behaviours will be. The Peak Joint Consultative Committee was also invited to be involved in this process and have provided valuable input. (Please see Achievements for further information on Values).
The Skills Acquisition Plan incorporates a number of our people management strategies including the continuation of our career transition program, Choices and Change, as well as the Leadership and Graduate Programs. In addition, the innovative new electronic induction package will make a significant difference in the way we deliver our induction program to new employees.
DLI's emerging reputation as an 'employer of choice' has been further strengthened with the introduction of a range of policies and guidelines. These policies provide staff with greater flexibility to help support a healthy work/life balance.
The introduction of the Community Participation Policy has recently raised DLI's profile as a socially responsible organisation. This policy aims to build on other socially responsible initiatives such as environmental impact (energy saving and recycling) and employee well being (flexible work practices, employee wellness etc) by creating a framework for corporate and individual community involvement.
