There is a lot happening in this space, so I’ve asked the Department to provide information for us all:

The Department’s two largest Human Resources programs – Staffing Methodology Review (SMR) and Human Capital Management (HCM) - are working in tandem to achieve the department’s vision that every school has the right people in the right place at the right time to meet the needs of our students.

Many of our members have already been involved with these programs.

Term 4 sees the SMR program engaging with principals across 30 plus schools, representing a diverse range of educational settings, to test and validate possible solutions for staffing entitlement and recruitment policies and processes. The findings will provide input into the overall SMR roadmap and strategy.
The HCM Human Centred Design work continues, following engagement with 17 schools across the state to canvas possible improvements to recruitment and workforce planning processes and technology. The findings from this work will be presented to representative stakeholders at a number of events at the end of November.

Both programs are collaborating to ensure better staffing and student outcomes, greater efficiencies and reduced administration burden on schools in the future.

On behalf the Executive, Robyn Evans, Ian Reeson, Rob Walker, Lyn Davis, Stuart Wylie, Bob Willetts, Michael Burgess, Jude Hayman, Michael Trist, Mark Pritchard, and myself thank you for the fabulous work you do for our school communities and colleagues.

Please always remember that we are here for you [details are on our webpage & President’s should have sent you a sheet with who to contact in your local Area Council ]…. And to look after yourself as the busy end of term 4 draws near.

cheers

Phil Seymour
