Public Works Transformation É«ÀÇÉçÇømember bulletin June 2015 (PDF version)
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøand delegates from NSW Public Works attended a meeting on Friday 12 June 2015 with management. The meeting largely confirmed advice given in the media release and provided to staff.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøunderstands:
- The Government doesn’t want Public Works to compete with the private sector.
- They know what they do want Public Works to do, including provision of specialised services. However, it is early days and details on how the business achieves this haven’t been fleshed-out yet.
- The transformation will occur over a period of up to two years. Throughout this period Management will encourage and support staff to develop capabilities for the new ‘vision’.
- A change management plan will be developed but it is unlikely to be published in the next three to six months.
É«ÀÇÉçÇøhave asked to be brought into proper consultation as early as possible. Public Works have committed to consultation with the É«ÀÇÉçÇøthroughout the transformation.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill focus on preserving members’ jobs and entitlements. We will also be providing support to Public Works to encourage retention of as many business areas as possible.
The É«ÀÇÉçÇøwill continue to keep members briefed and campaign around member issues.
