2. Putting policies into practice to build capable and high-performing workforces
DFFH, DTP and the Commission have practices in place to establish expected standards of performance and behaviour, foster continuous improvement and learning, and focus on employee engagement. Senior leaders also monitor performance. This supports the agencies in building capable and high-performing workforces.
1. Policies and guidance to support capability and high performance
The Commission's guidance for departments captures key themes of workforce better practice. But the Commission does not systematically develop and review this guidance. All 3 agencies' internal materials reflect better practice key themes and include a focus on capability and high performance.
