Friday 25 September 2020 – Evolving Transport News

In every edition you will hear news and key updates from across the 13 workstreams that make up our program of transformation. You can also stay up-to-date on the latest roadmaps and workstream outputs on each of the workstream intranet pages.

Company code merge moves to early 2021

The implementation date for creating a single company code in our systems for TfNSW and the former RMS will be moving to February 2021.

There are a few reasons why the timeline has shifted including Treasury budget requirement delays and the need to maintain alignment with organisational design timelines.

We’ll keep you up-to-date with more information on the cutover in the coming months and what that means for you in your day-to-day role.

Senior executive and senior manager outplacement program

Earlier this year while adapting to Coronavirus, we made some temporary changes to how we were implementing organisational reforms which included pausing redundancy exits.

Now as we work towards finalising our organisational reforms and changes we have decided to lift Transport’s pause on senior executive and senior manager redundancies (TSSE and TSSM). This means we are restarting the process for our senior employees who do not secure a position in a new structure.

With an awareness of the additional challenges people will face in the external job market we are providing a six-month outplacement program for our senior employees who leave Transport with a redundancy through the current reforms. The outplacement program supports our people with individual coaching, facilities, education, and support to prepare them as well as possible to secure their next role.

Find out the full details on this Stay Informed webpage and contact information in the support services fact sheet.
