The business unit works to boost the importance of people management across HSS and empower staff to make decisions. It also seeks to provide and increase support for leaders within HSS, as well as advocating for a customer-focused culture. 

 

Workforce and Organisational Development consists of three functions.

 

• HR and Capability provides human resource consultancy services to HSS managers and employees, as well as strategic workforce planning and capability development. This Function also leads the implementation of the organisation’s culture strategy.
  
  
• Payroll Services supports all HSS customers to ensure that more than 50,000 WA health system employees are paid accurately and on time in alignment with current Awards and Agreements each fortnight, while providing customer-focused payroll advice and assistance.
  
  
• Employee Services provides customer-focused end-to-end recruitment and appointment services and manages workforce and establishment data. This Function also includes NurseWest, who provide a state-wide centralised casual pool of nurses, midwives, enrolled nurses and assistants in nursing to fill temporary nursing shifts across both metropolitan and regional areas.
