The Tasmanian State Service (TSS) workforce is ageing, similar to the Tasmanian population. Over 42 per cent of the TSS is aged 50 years or over.
We needed to obtain information to support the ongoing development of an appropriate employment framework that provides for supportive policies and practices for an age diverse workforce.
SSMO would like to thank the people who participated in this project and the agencies who provided their support for the project.
The Project had three stages:
We found out many things during the course of the Project including that people enjoyed taking part in the survey/interviews – and being able to have a voice about the matters that are important to their work and life. We found out that participants:
The Project was undertaken to support the TSS Diversity and Inclusion Policy and Framework. The great information we received during the project covers across a wide range of employment/workforce policies and practices. Some information is specific to occupations where ageing needs to be considered from a supportive work health and safety perspective. Other matters such as the provision of information about flexible work arrangement, retirement planning or transition options apply across the service. SSMO will work with agencies (involving network/groups that support Diversity and Inclusion, Workplace Relations, Learning and Development and Health Safety and Wellbeing) regarding the project findings. Having positive workplace cultures is also important and future work will also focus on this.
The information gathered is real and relevant for all age groups. We will continue to develop appropriate support and guidance for all employees and officers to help them to remain engaged and positive about their work and their health and wellbeing.
