During 2015–2016, our policy on managing workplace grievances was updated. Training was conducted for managers and staff on Accountable and Ethical Decision Making, the Code of Personal Conduct, managing suspected breaches of discipline, performance development and performance management, and managing workplace grievances. New staff undertake an online induction program which covers their obligations under the Code of Personal Conduct, occupational health and safety and an understanding of our values and structure. Recordkeeping and compliance reporting Our recordkeeping systems are audited and evaluated for efficiency and effectiveness every three years at a minimum, in line with our internal audit plan. The most recent audit was conducted in May 2014 and the next is scheduled in 2017. We host an online, self-paced records awareness training package which outlines a person’s recordkeeping responsibilities and obligations as they specifically relate to the State Records Act 2000. New employees and contractors are automatically enrolled for this training on commencement and are required to complete the training within three months of employment. During the 2015–2016 reporting period, 149 new employees/contractors were enrolled and 91 completed the compulsory training. A total of 4,104 staff have undertaken this training since its introduction in May 2006, with an overall completion rate of 82 per cent. The recordkeeping training is monitored on an ongoing basis for efficiency and effectiveness by utilising reports and results of participant surveys. The recordkeeping training includes an assessment quiz which gauges an employee’s level of understanding of their recordkeeping responsibilities and obligations. An employee must demonstrate they have achieved a pass mark before they can successfully complete the course. We host additional compulsory online training courses focused on Induction and Accountable and Ethical Decision Making, also address recordkeeping responsibilities and protocols for the use and/or release of information. A checklist must be signed off by the employee’s line manager on completion of these courses. Our orientation program is held every two months for new employees and includes a short session on recordkeeping. Each directorate also conducts further training that is specific to its activities and processes. Departmental publications are hosted on our intranet and include our Recordkeeping Plan, Standards, records practices for and recordkeeping operational procedures. The online training courses allow staff/contractors to refer back to the content once they have completed their training. Staff can also use the intranet to search for general access administrative files.
