Our organisation development and planning strategy aims to enhance the University's performance and reputation by:

• Building a culture of learning aligned with the University's strategic plan;
• Developing a highly skilled workforce;
• Targeting areas of need and providing quality learning and development programs in induction, workplace skills, management and leadership development;
• Developing high performing teams;
• Offering rewards for outstanding performance and conducting a range of activities to enhance morale and motivation;
• Implementing a comprehensive leadership and management development framework;
• Providing opportunities to discuss work and career goals, give and receive feedback on performance, and identify training and development needs through the Performance Management, Development and Review process; and
• Ensuring organisation change is managed in a proactive and thorough way.
• Planning for the future workforce requirements of the University through strategic workforce planning.
• Regularly surveying staff on their views and experiences as key stakeholders in the University's current and future performance.

The University is committed to working with employees to develop skills and expertise that will enable them to maximise their contribution to the University, achieve job satisfaction, develop their capability and reach their full potential. We provide employees with a range of learning opportunities including on-the-job experience, training courses and study leave. We also support their ongoing learning and career development.

Employees are responsible for their own career development. Every employee can take the initiative by identifying ways to develop their skills and broaden their experience.

Supervisors are responsible for providing employees with opportunities to develop and enhance skills for their current position and to provide guidance and appropriate opportunities for career development.
