ACT Corrective Services—staff survey results
(Question No 832)
Mrs Jones asked the Minister for Corrections, upon notice, on 1 December 2017:
What are the results and reports of the Justice and Community Safety Directorate Staff Survey(s) of (a) 2008, (b) 2010, (c) 2012, (d) 2015 and (e) 2017, pertaining to ACT Corrective Services.
Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
The detailed results from the Justice and Community Safety Directorate (JACS) staff surveys including those of the ACT Corrective Services are not made public for a number of reasons: assurances made to staff about the confidentiality of their responses and the risk of undermining staff confidence and participation in future surveys (which is voluntary); the commercial value and intellectual property of Best Practice Australia as the survey provider would be compromised; and the nature of the reports which are designed as working documents by executives and managers within the organisation.
The staff survey is a key tool used to inform the development and implementation of JACS workforce strategy. A copy of the JACS Workforce Strategy is attached for Committee information.
(A copy of the attachment is available at the Chamber Support Office).
