Workforce Capability, Leadership and Management
Page | Updated: 3 February 2015
Well-designed organisations, good leadership and management, and the right mix of personal qualities, mindsets, knowledge and skills, combine to create a productive and responsive public sector.
The VPSC conducts research, undertakes assessments, and provides best practice advice on the key elements that create public sector capability. Areas of focus are:
- Design and change organisations and their cultures so they are responsive and productive
- Manage and develop teams and individual staff so that they make the productive contributions to the work of the public sector
- Identify and addressing future workforce needs and gaps
- Use data to make strategic decisions about workforce planning and management.
The Towards Common Practice project was initiated to develop common policies across all Victorian public service (VPS) organisations.
Bullying is not consistent with the Victorian Public Sector Values or Employment Principles. It is harmful to our employees, and undermines our work delivering world class services to Victorians.
To be a contemporary employer of choice, the VPS needs to cultivate a culture where working flexibly is business as usual.
