Organisational health
(Executive Board meeting 16/12/10 included discussion of Attachment A) 
The Human Resources Division reports annually to the Executive Board on a range of staffing data to review organisational health and identify potential risks to building and sustaining organisational capability. The data assists the Board to monitor departmental staffing trends and benchmarks Treasury data with the broader APS and comparator agencies.
Key points

•	An acceptable turnover rate of around 11 per cent to 13 per cent over the last five years.
•	83 per cent of respondents who leave Treasury rated the department as a ‘very good’ or ‘good’ place to work.
•	Treasury’s score for employee engagement in the 2010 State of the Service Employee Survey was 97 per cent compared to the APS average of 87 per cent.
•	Progress in strategies to improve access to flexible work arrangements including the Treasury expansion of the Abacus Childcare Centre and feedback from the Workplace Relations Committee indicating that the revised time‑off‑in‑lieu arrangements are effective and working well.
