The APS Employee Census is an annual survey that tracks employee perception about leadership, workplace conditions, culture and environment. The Census results assist with framing priorities and areas of focus for future Library workforce and workplace initiatives.

The Library has a proactive approach to the Census results, sharing them with all staff and actively consulting through a staff Consultative Committee. The Committee includes nominated staff representatives, union delegate representatives and members of the Library’s Executive, and is chaired by the Library’s Director-General, Dr Marie-Louise Ayres.

Action Plan 

To respond to our Census results the Library has developed an Action Plan. The 2024 Census Action Plan Library will address three focus areas:: 

  • Internal communication and change management
  • Wellbeing and workloads
  • Enabling Innovation  

Progress against the Action Plan will be monitored by the Library’s Executive and reported to our Consultative Committee.
