Management at Australian National Audit Office (ANAO)

Most managers are accessible, approachable and communicative. there are a fair number of managers however that are not. some managers go above and beyond in the performance feedback and provide constructive points for review. most however note 'working satisfactory'/'meeting expectations' with little to no additional information that does not assist in growth or development.

I have been lucky to have had great managers. they have all been accessible when i needed them, and they have all been invested in my wellbeing and continued professional development, including by encouraging me to apply for promotions and giving my additional responsibilities to grow key skills.

I have been satisfied with all of the managers that i have experiences, but i don't think this is true for everyone. i think managers in general need to be more careful about their communication and feedback during high stress periods.

Like in all workplaces there is a certain extent to which managers are individuals and therefore there some very good managers and some not so good managers.

Most audit managers i have had have been pretty good. at the very least they have all given lots of positive feedback and also encouraged time-off and self-care. really good mentors for career purposes can be hard to come by at any agency.

Very inconsistent and really depends on luck if you get a good manager who will invest in your development and career

My department managers are quite good. very open, understanding, and flexible. in general they will look for work opportunities for your growth.

Very happy with managers. good fit personality wise and professionally.

Good.

Managers are very hands-on when it comes to audit work, as it is a team effort. they will always provide assistance, where needed to complete work.

My current manager is an excellent mentor. i have also found the executive very approachable and supportive.

Depends on the individual. certain managers are very approachable and available, others not so much.

I have had access to both of my managers and both of my team leaders at all times when i need them, as well as senior staff with experience and advice to share. i have regular correspondence with the ses in my organisation, and they are accessible in office hours without difficulty. i do not require any greater access to senior staff than i have right now.

Have several managers that i can speak to on a regularly basis, all have great people management skills.

There is a lot of interaction between lower level staff and the upper (ses) management. there is genuine discussion and listening to feedback.

The two managers i have had most contact with have been very supportive. my team leader communicates well and provides meaningful and useful feedback. in addition i have done some other work with very senior members of the executive and found them very supportive too.
