ARC Training Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science Project members Project lead Professor Mark Griffin Project lead Eden Li Overview Transform the maintenance management process Our vision to enable Australian companies to lead the way maintenance is conducted, increasing both productivity and profitability through the automation of the work management stages. Visit the website to learn more Purpose of the Centre To deliver the next generation of data science solutions focused on the problems that industry needs, which is to ensure the efficient and effective maintenance execution. Our academic-and-industry partnership will deliver the next generation of data science products coupled with training to ensure efficient and effective maintenance execution. Enable Maintenance Work Management by providing decision support solutions for activity that need a ‘human-in –loop’ for maintenance and automating activities that don’t. A framework around “person, tasks, and culture” will be developed that is specific to the maintenance context of the organisation and involves stakeholders from the maintainer, the engineer, and the manager groups. It is essential that the overall system, not just individual elements, supports the translation of analytic models into business practice. The framework Research themes The Centre is a partnership between Curtin University, The University of Western Australia, CSIRO and industry partners Alcoa, BHP and Roy Hill, as well as CORE Innovation Hub and the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia. To enable this transformation, the Centre will focus on the three key roles in a new digitally-driven maintenance management system. These are: The maintainers responsible for executing work on the assets and making crucial observations about as-found condition of the assets, The engineers responsible for the models and analysis necessary for fault detection, asset health assessment and remaining useful life predictions, and quantifying uncertainty, and The maintenance managers responsible for ensuring that decisions at the system level balance cost, risk and performance. Support the maintainer Triage support Support the engineer Managing uncertainty Support the manager Decision making Each research themes has a series of three blocks of work: Data driven The development of fit-for-purpose data sets, these will be provided by our Partner organisations.The aim here is that all data captured by the maintainers is machine readable, the data is cleaned and stored, and captured data in a way that is repeatable and requires minimal data wrangling by users. Building Suitable models. The data sets will be used to build suitable models, taking us to our second block of work. Models are themselves developed, validated, stored and updated in a trackable way. The use of these models by decision makers is also tracked and performance changes measured and assessed. Computational efficiency. The Centre has employed software engineers to ensure research outcomes are more easily translated into existing operations and/or provisioned via a consistent platform We understand that models by themselves don't deliver value; we also need to change organisational psychology/culture/training/software architecture/business process. What we believe makes this Centre special is that this is built-in alongside our translation themes. Translation themes The output of maintenance analytics creates new decision-making challenges for maintainers, engineers, and managers. The most significant risk is that the information is simply not used in Organisations. This theme will adopt a multilevel perspective to build a comprehensive picture of the factors that support decision making when using complex data. This aspect of the project translates the core research programs into business practice by integrating user issues hierarchically at three levels of analysis: Cognitive is particularly important for maintainers using information delivered through novel media and in a context that is different to traditional maintenance systems, Task demands is particularly important for engineers designing models, and for the maintainers using models. Use of data will be inhibited if the output of models is not a meaningful part of the overall task requirements of maintainers or generates tasks that cause fatigue, boredom, or distress Organisational culture is particularly important for managers implementing decisions based on analytic models. For example, if an underlying cultural belief places primacy on the intuition and implicit skill of senior managers, then analytics models can undermine the role of managers and limit the use of data output This translation project will work with the industry partners to implement a plan based on research at each level to integrate across the three levels.

Engaging Scouts Leaders Partnership with Curtin University and The University of Western Australia research team Project members Project lead Professor Marylène Gagné Project lead Professor Patrick Dunlop Project lead Djurre Holtrop Project member Jane Chong Project member Professor John Cordery Project member Christine Soo Scouts research overview Volunteer Recruitment, Retention & Engagement to find ways to attract and retain more adult volunteers to deliver Scouts youth programs.Why have you committed to staying with Scouts Australia is important to us and with this understanding we hope to improve the retention of greater numbers of our leaders… – Chris Bates, former Chief Commissioner Scouts Australia (Chiefy) Read our Research poster As Scouts organisations across the country would know, developing effective recruitment, training and retention strategies are essential for non-profit organisations to deliver quality youth programs. Non-profit organisations such as Scouts often struggle to attract and retain a sufficient number of volunteers, resulting youth who would like to become Scouts, but often find the experience challenging due to long wait lists. The key purpose of this partnership was to help Scouts find successful, innovative solutions to attract and engage volunteers who are crucial for delivering its youth programs and vision. Prof Marylène Gagné, Dr Patrick Dunlop, and Dr Djurre Holtrop from the Curtin Future of Work Institute and Dr Christine Soo from the UWA Business School, along with Professor John Cordery from Curtin University, provided their expertise to improve recruitment and retention at Scouts from 2016-2020. Together with Scouts WA, Scouts SA, Scouts VIC and Scouts TAS, they have been awarded an impressive Australian Research Council Linkage Project Grant to try new state-of-the-art recruitment, training and communications strategies to improve the engagement and retention of Scouts volunteers.

Emergency Services Volunteer Experience Project Project members Project lead Jane Chong Project lead Professor Marylène Gagné Project lead Professor Patrick Dunlop Project lead Djurre Holtrop Overview Improving the experience of new volunteers Volunteers’ socialisation being one of their first experiences with the organisation is shown to significantly influence their engagement, motivation, and intentions to stay or withdraw from an organisation. Failure to socialise newcomers is known to lead to lower levels of commitment and premature departure from organisations, leading to an organisation not capitalising on their recruitment and training investments. Essentially, poor socialisation is financially and reputationally costly for an organisation. On the other hand, effective socialisation can lead to members feeling engaged, competent, and socially integrated with others in the organisation. The goal Therefore, it is important to optimise the socialisation process. DFES is partnering with Curtin University on research looking at improving the experience of new volunteers in the Volunteer Emergency Services. We are working to identify the most effective ways and biggest challenges to on-board and train new volunteers. Outcomes The purpose of this research is to develop tools, resources, and approaches that can help volunteer leaders improve the experience for new volunteers. With volunteers’ first hand input, we can identify important strategies to make sure future emergency service volunteers have a positive experience.

The Risk of Age Discrimination in Potential Appraisals of Employees Project members Project lead Giverny De Boeck Project member Nicky Dries Project member Prisca Brosi Overview The purpose of this research was to evidence the higher susceptibility of potential appraisals to age and gender bias in comparison to performance appraisals. To test our hypothesis empirically, we analysed two large archival datasets, one from a German chemical multinational and one from a Belgian finance company, using regression analyses and structural equation modelling. We also conducted a vignette experiment to replicate our findings, while keeping all other factors constant. Our results Showed that potential appraisals were biased against older employees who received systematically lower ratings than younger employees, and that this negative age effect was stronger for potential than for performance appraisals. Moreover, age also affected pay raises and promotions in the next year via potential ratings. Our experiment showed that the different scores of older and younger employees could not be attributed to differences in competence level, meaning that they reflected actual bias. For gender, effects were largely absent. In conclusion Our results suggest that potential appraisals entail a serious risk for age discrimination in organisations, because they structurally limit the career opportunities of older employees, creating a so-called ‘silver ceiling’. The collaboration Industry collaboration between researchers of the Centre for Transformative Work Design and two large companies: A chemical multinational corporation based in Germany, and an organisation active in the financial and insurance services industry in Belgium. Serves the mission of the Centre of Excellence for Population Ageing Research (CEPAR) and, specifically, the research stream on ‘Organisations and the Mature Workforce’ led by Prof. Sharon Parker which aims to deliver solutions to one of the major economic and social challenges of the 21st century. Jointly funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) as well as the Flemish Research Council (Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - FWO). Industry outcomes Evidence backed by data Provide evidence for and identify actual sources of bias in organisations using statistical analyses to help employers decide where to target the investment of their resources. Build on theoretical knowledge Advise organisations on how to tackle bias (i.e., using a contextualised- rather than a competency-based approach to prevent age bias when identifying employee potential) Solution orientated Articulate suggestions for organisations and governments about how they can better manage demographic changes in the future. Promote fairness Develop fair appraisal procedures in organisations’ human resource management to break the ‘silver ceiling’ and keep older employees motivated to work longer.

Recruitment Roadmap Achieving Clarity, Diversity, and Support for Emergency Volunteers Project members Project lead Professor Patrick Dunlop Project lead Professor Marylène Gagné Project lead Djurre Holtrop Project member Hawa Muhummad Farid Project member Darja Kragt Project member Liz Pritchard Project member Aleksandra Luksyte Overview The Future of Work Institute (FOWI) has partnered with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) to deliver organisational resources that work to improve recruitment and retention practices of emergency service volunteers. The research was undertaken through a combination of questionnaires and interviews with volunteers and stakeholders, focused on understanding the recruitment, management, and retention activities that volunteers undertake. Project aim Recruiting and retaining volunteers is becoming an increasingly important issue that is being addressed head-on by emergency services organisations across Australia. This partnership empowers volunteer managers located in Brigades, Groups, and Units (BGUs) to effectively manage the recruitment and retention cycle of volunteers. The project has delivered resources that support the development of role descriptions and localised strategies that drive the effective recruitment, onboarding, and management of volunteers. The suite of resources provides a mechanism to recruit a wider diversity of volunteers who can now find a range of attractive operational and non-operational roles within the volunteer emergency services. Furthermore, the resources provide guidance to volunteer managers on how they can provide needed support to ensure volunteer longevity within their BGUs. Resources developed from our research were launched in Waroona with over 50 volunteer leaders in June 2018, followed by a second release of resources at the Western Australian Fire and Emergency Services (WAFES) conference in September 2019. A final resource on succession planning is currently in development for release in late 2020. Industry outcomes The onboarding and management resource Well-received at the Waroona launch and were praised as being “practical” resources that volunteer managers could use. Creating well-defined role descriptions The methods have been applied in recruitment and role advertisements that are currently being promoted on the revamped DFES Recruitment Website. Consolidated resources We created a training tool called “The Volunteer Recruitment Roadmap”, which has been positively and actively received by emergency services volunteers throughout Western Australia. Key findings from the recruitment resources Have contributed to the widely successful state-wide recruitment campaign, ‘Get Behind the Front Line’, that has generated interest into support and non-operational roles advertised within the emergency services.

The Ageing Workforce Maximising the Productivity, Health and Well-Being of Mature Workers Project members Project lead Professor Sharon Parker Project lead Daniela Andrei Project lead Gigi Petery Project member Gina Chatelier Project member Jane Chong Project member Professor John Cordery Project member Christine Soo About the project We can't ignore that the workforce is ageing. With increasing life expectancy and changing welfare policies, many mature workers will have both the capacity and demand to work until until they are older. The health of our nation will be served through creating work that preserves the wellbeing and social, psychological, and mental capital of older workers. Our reserach, part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Population Ageing Research (CEPAR), addresses these crucial challenges of work and ageing. Read more visit the CEPAR website Key Research Goals The aim of this research is to identify work designs and practices to attract and retain mature workers, thus enhancing their performance and wellbeing, and improving productivity within organisations and society more broadly. Specifically, there are three research questions addressed: 1. What are the factors that promote successful ageing in the workplace? 2. How can we promote successful teams, organisations, and societies by facilitating mature workforce participation? 3. How can organisations facilitate the optimal balancing of work and care responsibilities for mature employees? The outcomes of this research will inform best practice, organisational policies and implementation to enable older workers to participate longer in paid work while balancing this with their external care demands.

Thrive at Work Audit: Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (RAC) Project members Project lead Professor Karina Jorritsma Project lead Megan Orchard Overview Led by Curtin University's Future of Work Institute (FOWI), Thrive at Work is a ground-breaking workplace well-being initiative centred on designing work that helps employees, organisations and industry to thrive. The Thrive at Work Audit is a practical and simple tool developed to assist organisations, of all sizes and maturity, in evaluating their current state and their progress towards creating a thriving workplace. The collaboration In 2018, the Future of Work Institute commenced a collaboration with the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (RAC) to undertake an audit of RAC’s current mental health and well-being activities across the pillars of the Thrive at Work Framework, which include: Mitigating Illness, Preventing Harm, and Promoting Thriving. The aim of the collaboration was for the audit results to inform the development of an RAC employee mental health and well-being strategy. As part of the audit process, RAC undertook three facilitated workshops that involved representatives across functional departments including Human Resources, Occupational Health and Safety, Organisational Development, and People and Culture. During these workshops, they consolidated their current workplace mental health and wellbeing activities and assessed the maturity of those activities using the Thrive at Work Framework. Visit the Thrive at Work website, to learn more Industry outcomes Where they sit currently Establish a baseline position in terms of mapping current policies, procedures, activities and practices against the Thrive at Work Framework.
