NT Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment

Chief human resources officers should have a seat at the executive table and help drive business outcomes. Public service commissions in Australia and New Zealand have a plan to raise the HR profile.

The NT government has led the way in streamlining recruitment processes, cutting selection criteria and embracing online tools. The territory’s public employment commissioner reflects on the successes.

The Territory saw “a considerable increase” in complaints by public servants against their employers last year. Staff with disability are the most likely to be bullied.
