Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, functions of the former Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy have been transferred to other departments. Work is underway to update departments' websites.

Our People Strategy

The Our CHDE, Our People Strategy 2022–26 outlines our people priorities to help achieve our department’s objectives and ensure a positive people experience for all CHDE staff.

Two document designs of the people strategy have been developed – a standard design and a visual version based on the CHDE First Nations artwork – so you can engage with whichever version best suits your personal preference.

Our people priorities

CHDE staff play an integral role in delivering the department’s and government’s objectives for all Queenslanders as outlined in the Strategic Plan 2022–26.

Our staff told us that these are our five people priorities:

  • Serve with purpose by being recognised for delivering outcomes 
    that make a difference
  • Achieve our potential by developing our skills and working 
    in empowered and capable teams
  • Work in partnership by being diverse, inclusive, and collaborative 
    to achieve better outcomes
  • Develop perspective by working in ways that promote trust, 
    fairness, and wellbeing
  • Operationalise Path to Treaty by sustaining strong relationships 
    with First Nations peoples

People strategy development

Our People Strategy has been proudly developed by us for us.

We engaged extensively with a diverse group of staff from across the department about their perspectives and experiences of working at CHDE and what matters most to them.

This included staff from a diverse range of roles, levels, locations and backgrounds and was conducted via:

  • one-on-one meetings
  • group discussions
  • surveys.

This information, along with feedback from the CHDE’s People and Culture Committee and Board of Management, was used to develop the department’s Our People Strategy.
