In 2012, the NSW Government enacted legislation requiring heads of public sector agencies to develop and implement performance management systems for their staff. According to this legislation, I am required to issue guidelines on essential elements of performance management
systems. The NSW Public Sector Performance Development Framework provides these guidelines.
 
The Framework is supported by a suite of reference guides which sets good performance management practices to optimise individual and team performance – and ultimately
organisational performance.
 
The Framework represents a shift aimed at improving the culture in the sector to manage and develop capabilities and performance. It aims to raise the bar for performance management, and drive continuous improvement to achieve best practice.
 
Accordingly, the PSC will review the Framework regularly to support ongoing improvements in performance management across the sector and to ensure that it aligns with further workforce management reforms.
