Our people A code of conduct for all of our people We have a code of conduct for all our employees. The code gives effect to the requirements of the Public Sector Ethics Act 1994, by clearly describing ethical responsibilities and identifying appropriate workplace conduct for all of our people. The code is available on our website at: www.police.qld.gov.au/services/reportsPublications/ Equity and diversity The QPS Equity and Diversity Unit aims to: • promote a diverse workforce • ensure equity in employment and professional development • eliminate all forms of negative workplace behaviour. Over the past year the unit has been involved in a number of initiatives, most notably: • assisting a review of the reasons staff leave the QPS to identify appropriate retention initiatives, supported by the development and implementation of a new separations process • continued delivery of training to address negative workplace behaviour • development of a workplace conferencing model to assist work units in conflict • the establishment of an inter-departmental community of practice for equity practitioners across government. The unit is embarking on a substantial consultation process to aid in the development of the Equal Employment Opportunity Management Plan that will ensure fair treatment for all staff. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment The Equity and Diversity Unit is directly involved in marketing and program delivery of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Justice Entry Program (JEP); maintenance of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Advisory Board; and the JEP Indigenous Mentoring Program. Progress has included: • 74 people have commenced the JEP traineeship since 2003. • 63 people have graduated with the Certificate IV in Justice. • 59 people have then entered the Police Recruit Operational Vocational Education Program (PROVE) as police recruits. • 43 people have graduated from PROVE and have been sworn in as constables. • 9 people are presently undertaking the PROVE Program due for induction in August 2008. • 5 people commenced the 7th intake of the JEP traineeship in May this year and are due to graduate in November 2008. Police chaplaincy service Forty-two police chaplains located throughout Queensland have continued with a proactive approach of regular visitation to QPS stations and establishments. Their visits facilitate relationship building and create an environment which supports early intervention and early resolution of issues. As in previous years, QPS Chaplaincy once again coordinated National Police Remembrance Day marches and services throughout Queensland. Negative workplace behaviour: don’t cross the line! 62 With honour we serve Corporate Resource Management
The Service recognises its people are important. Health and wellbeing In 2007-08, the QPS invested in excess of $4 million to deliver a comprehensive suite of services supporting our employees’ physical and mental health. Our staff have access to a number of free and voluntary services, including: • The HealthStart Physical Assessment and Blood Test, which provides staff with an opportunity to assess their health, and detect and address health concerns before they become critical. It also provides the QPS with an overview of the organisation’s health to determine what initiatives should be introduced to support the good health of members. As part of this program members are offered health coaching to assist in improving their health through diet and physical exercise. Over 4 800 staff have participated. • The Service provides rehabilitation services to staff who have suffered occupational injuries or disease. These services are also offered to staff who become injured or ill outside work. Over 2 000 staff have been provided with rehabilitation assistance. • The Service funds external health care providers for case management and treatment of police officers who require assistance for alcohol or drug misuse. • The Service also employs psychologists and social workers within all regions, divisions and commands to provide confidential counselling, clinical and assessment services to our staff for both work and non-work issues. Balancing work and family Many members are now accessing part-time work options as a means of balancing their work and family responsibilities. As can be seen from the following table, the vast majority of these employees are women. Members working part-time Male Female Total Police Officers 34 318 352 Staff Members 46 478 524 In some instances, Child and Family Issues Committees were used effectively to facilitate negotiations for members wishing to convert to part-time hours. Further assistance has been provided through the development and launch of the Women’s Network Pregnancy Package in February 2008. The package highlights policy, processes and legislation relevant to pregnancy in the workplace. The package is designed to assist pregnant employees, their managers, spouses and coworkers by providing an easy reference to all relevant information. The Pregnancy Package will be available as an online resource to all QPS employees in the near future. Voluntary early retirements There were no voluntary early retirement packages taken by employees in the 2007-08 financial year. Corporate Resource Management With honour we serve 63
