Managing Change in the Workplace. Principles 17.1. The parties recognise that change will occur as the University evolves over time and as circumstances require. Many changes that take place in the workplace can be relatively minor and, as a consequence, will be addressed at the workplace level through direct local discussion and consultation with individual staff and/or the work group. The University and its staff will pursue ongoing improvements in the quality and cost effectiveness of University programs and support services, and in support of the University’s strategic objectives. 17.2. The parties acknowledge that the sound management of workplace change is enhanced by the involvement of the people who will be directly affected by that change. The University will manage change in a proactive, transparent and constructive manner, so as to minimise any adverse effects on the University workplace community while ensuring that the University is able to adapt appropriately to changing circumstances. The parties recognise that the management of change is enhanced by consultation with and input from staff directly affected by the change. 17.3. A staff member may choose to seek advice, representation or assistance from a union or a person of their choice throughout the change management process, provided that person is not currently a solicitor or barrister in private practice. 17.4. The process described in this Clause applies to changes that could reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on staff. Significant effects may arise with, but are not limited to: a. the need to transfer staff to other work locations, such as from one campus to another b. a reduction in the number of positions that is likely to lead to retrenchments c. outsourcing of existing services d. the alteration of working arrangements applicable to a work unit(s) (such as the introduction of shift work or new technology) or changes to organisational structure e. significant changes to student numbers, to the academic year pattern, or any other significant change likely to give rise to reductions in staffing or major changes to workloads.
