The Australian Public Service (APS) Commission released the APS Mobility Framework in April of this year.
The Framework supports and guides members of the APS to use mobility as a strategic workforce tool, focussing on three high value uses of mobility: addressing surges or peaks in demand, solving complex problems, and developing employees.
Public Service Commissioner Peter Woolcott AO stressed the importance of mobility in the public sector.
‘The APS must be more permeable and mobile in order to foster diversity of thinking, the contestability of ideas and assist in capability development’ he said.
The APSC Mobility Framework team have published three case studies, showcasing the mobility stories of APS leaders. Their stories range from international placements, to practical tips on how to work with an employee who wants to take a move.
The case studies are designed to help employees, managers, HR practitioners, and executives see how they can use mobility as an effective tool for themselves and their teams.
