Management at Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC)

My manager is great, he gives me lots of opportunities to develop and grow. He always checks in on me with workload and we have a great level of communication (especially since he is interstate). I feel like my work is always acknowledged by him.

Managers are very flexible, and go out of their way to support graduates

I have found my direct managers to be amazing. They have great communication skills and are invested in my development and offer regular constructive feedback.

Satisfied. They're personable and supportive

Yep my manager is great, but overall some managers good, some bad. Same as anywhere.

I have had great experiences with the management in the Department. Whilst the Department is hierarchical, there is a good flow of communication and positive feedback from the management.

APS structures are very formal, and there is generally a priority placed upon development. Managers are accessible up until the higher ranking (SES), and even they will make time for you.

Supervisor relations and work performance discussions are incredibly supportive instead of punitive. My two immediate bosses are very accessible and the more senior executive corresponds and meets with the entire Department regularly.

Due to the hierarchical structure in our organisation, some senior managers are accessible but many are somewhat isolated as 'senior executive'. Team managers are generally very accessible and provide advice and mentoring. Our area has considerable communication materials, including regular news emails and face-to-face meetings with senior executives. We also have a structured performance management framework that all employees are required to use during the FY cycle. How well your process works depends on your own manager�s attitude. Generally, there is recognition of work done, but it is part of structured awards or meetings.

Managers have always been happy to talk to me, provide me with career guidance and are generally friendly and amiable people.

Managers proactively seek to communicate and help out graduates. They highly value graduates and new staff alike.

My direct managers are very approachable, casual, have excellent communication skills and are consistently open about performance.

Managers are very approachable, and are always prepared to go out of their way to help others develop. My Supervisors particularly, have taken a big interest in my development as a graduate - I have developed great friendships in and outside of the office. Performance feedback is also accurate and encouraging.
