Key priority area—Human resource management The Human Resources Division consists of the Human Resource Development Branch, the Human Resource Management Branch, the Industrial Relations Branch and Organisational Safety and Wellbeing. The Human Resource Development Branch manages the education and training activities described under the Professional Standards and Ethical Practice output at page 50. The Human Resource Management Branch manages key functions such as the recruitment of new officers, the promotion and transfer of existing officers, human resource policy, workforce planning, and equity and diversity matters. The Industrial Relations Branch provides a wide range of industrial and employee relations services. During 2007-08, the Branch successfully developed and negotiated a three year enterprise bargaining agreement for police officers. Along with increases across wages and allowances, new entitlements include a field training officer allowance and provision for fatigue management. The former Health Services Branch was restructured as Organisational Safety and Wellbeing to emphasise a more holistic approach to employee health. Health and safety An improved statewide database has been implemented to record and monitor case management relating to rehabilitation support services for all work and nonwork related injuries and incidents. The new system encompasses a reporting process which enables the Service to set benchmarks, performance targets and report from a regional, district and corporate level. It forms part of the ongoing injury management auditing system. Alcohol and drug awareness The Alcohol and Drug Awareness Unit is responsible for managing internal alcohol and drug programs, including education, coordination of testing, and support for members requiring assistance. As at 30 June 2008, 1 036 police officers and staff working in safety sensitive areas have undergone a random alcohol test. All results were negative. These figures demonstrate that the Service is meeting its legislative commitments and maintaining a strong commitment to workplace safety. Forty-eight police officers have undergone post critical incident drug tests, with all results being negative. Testing continues to be one aspect of the Service’s commitment to enhancing police wellbeing and safety, as well as integrity within the agency. This year, the Service placed significant focus on health education, which has included health and safety messages around ‘Fit for Life, Fit for Work’ and specifically the responsible use of alcohol and other licit drugs. This education has included the development of an online learning product, which includes modules on alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, fatigue and stress. Employee assistance service The Employee Assistance Service is moving towards a risk management model that will assist in monitoring the wellbeing of officers who have been exposed to multiple potentially traumatic events. The Alcohol and Drug Awareness Unit provides members with educational, counselling and support services. 60 With honour we serve Corporate Resource Management
Helping Hand Helping Hand was established in 2004 in response to an increasing need for assistance by Service members in times of crisis such as serious or terminal illness, injury or personal trauma. ‘On Friday February 15, 2008, our lives were thrown into turmoil when I was diagnosed with a life-threatening spinal cord and brain stem tumour. My family was devastated, especially my three children Emily, 8, Lachlan, 6, and Jake, 3. Finding suitable treatment and a neurosurgeon confident to attempt removal of the tumour became a race against time. Eventually a Sydney surgeon agreed to operate, but it meant shifting the family to Sydney for a few weeks. Here in this moment, in our darkest hours and time of need, Helping Hand came in and helped ease the financial burden, so we could concentrate on each other—the most precious thing of all. It opened up our eyes to how generous people can be, and we want to thank Helping Hand for stepping in at the most critical time of our lives.’ Mary Menelaws, wife of Sergeant Neal Menelaws, Railway Squad.
