From Strength to Strength
Interrelate strives to be an employer of choice and critical to this success is ensuring the ongoing
positive engagement of our staff. In 2013-14, the Strength to Strength (S2S) Project was launched
with the aim to enable an enhanced focus on organisational culture and staff engagement. Through
the ongoing work of this project, staff are empowered to raise issues that are of concern to them,
engage in problem solving and contribute to the continued development of the organisation.
As part of this project, the S2S Staff Reference Group was established with a representative from
each region and work group to support the development and implementation of projects under the
initiative. The role of the Reference Group is to drive projects within the regions and help facilitate
communication between the regions, management and staff.
Through the S2S Project and following significant staff consultation, 12 key areas of opportunity
were identified and a work plan was developed to guide enhancement in these areas:
1.
Aboriginal engagement and services
