Agency / Sector Workforce Strategies
The workforce resources in this section have been updated. Workforce strategy is an important element of Four-year Plans.
UPDATE: Workforce strategy is an important element of Four-year Plans. Agencies/sectors will submit Four-year Plans as a central part of the Budget 2013 process. New workforce strategy resources have now been posted on this page to assist agencies and sectors in their development of their Four-year Plans.
Four-year Plans: Workforce Strategy Resources
The State Services Commission (SSC) and the Treasury have jointly led the development of the Four-year Plan Guide which includes guidance on the workforce component of Four-year Plans. The Four-year Plan guide is the first point of reference for agencies and sectors.
The new workforce strategy resources displayed in the Related Resources section below have been developed to complement information in the Four-year Plan Guide released on 6 September 2012. It is strongly recommended that agencies and sectors use the 'Notes for Agencies' and 'Notes for Sectors' to assist in the preparation of the workforce component of Four-year Plans.
Also published here are 'Agency/Sector Workforce Strategy FAQs'.
Case Studies
Two agencies involved in the first round of workforce strategies in 2011 agreed to share their experience of developing a Workforce Strategy. The State Service Commission would like to acknowledge the support and cooperation of the New Zealand Customs Service and Land Information New Zealand.
Links to the case studies are included below.
