Management Standards - Demands

This includes issues such as workload, work patterns, and the work environment.

The standard is that:

  • employees indicate that they are able to cope with the demands of their jobs; and
  • systems are in place locally to respond to any individual concerns.

What should be happening:

  • The organisation provides employees with adequate and achievable demands in relation to the agreed hours of work
  • People's skills and abilities are matched to the job demands
  • Jobs are designed to be within the capabilities of employees
  • Employees' concerns about their work environment are addressed
