Our People 91 Grievance/Promotion Appeals Two grievance appeals were lodged during the reporting period 2003-2004. One appeal was withdrawn and the other appeal, following discussions with the aggrieved and some informal mediation, was also withdrawn. During the same reporting period, there were four promotional appeals lodged and determined. Two appeals were against temporary promotions; both were finalised. Two protective appeals were lodged and finalised. The low incidence and positive outcomes of internal appeals is confirmation of agency action and indicates managers are observing policy and processes for selecting staff and managing grievances. Future Initiatives for Our People Our Human Resources and Organisational Development have a number of strategies which will be further developed next year including: A supervisor survival program aimed at providing new supervisors with an informal support program; a monthly forum, titled HR Exposed aimed at providing an opportunity for DCIS staff to participate and contribute to appropriate HR&OD policies and programs; and an informal lunchtime learning initiative providing an opportunity for staff to participate in a variety of activities such as, presentations from guest speakers, video resources, handouts, or general discussion on a wide range of topics with a work life balance flavour.
