The Australian Public Service Commission demonstrates a strong commitment to digital transformation and is open to remote working opportunities. Employees appreciate the exposure to unique investigations and intelligence capabilities, providing a dynamic working environment, as well as the independence and self-management offered by the roles. They also value the opportunity to work with highly professional and decent colleagues, the new office facilities, easy-going teams, good communication, and approachable managers, and the permanence compared to other work.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as the inherent challenges of digital transformation and cultural change, a weak management culture in some groups, a perceived low regard for subject matter expertise, high staff turnover, limited leadership and mentorship to guide the organisation, limited opportunities for career advancement, challenges in obtaining full-time employment with many labour hire staff, and no opportunities for contract extensions reported by some employees.
