The role of the Public Sector Commission is to develop a future fit public service for the people of Western Australia. Planning is essential to building a diverse and inclusive workforce as this identifies the skills, knowledge, experiences and different ways of thinking necessary to develop a future fit sector.
Research is an important part of the planning process as it ensures our future actions and strategies are innovative, evidence based and able to meet new and arising challenges.
We need your help to explore the following questions:
• What are the current trends in driving diversity and inclusion outcomes in employment?
• What strategies and / or plans have been published by other jurisdictions and sectors to enhance diversity and inclusion?
