In this episode, we examine VicHealth's approach to employee performance. Padam Chirmuley walks us through VicHealth's role in the community and how they link employee performance to both strategic and community goals. It covers practical aspects like aligning pay with performance, integrating performance management into daily work, and using one-on-ones to merge health and wellbeing with performance.

The episode addresses how VicHealth maintains autonomy while aligning with government standards, challenges perceptions of government being dull, and details the integration of their Culture Charter with Victorian Government values. We also discuss the 'Appreciation Station', an employee-designed recognition initiative that was scaled across the organisation, and the involvement of employees crafting the performance process.
