As a proportion of the public sector profile, work performance matters represent 1.71% of the Queensland public sector with 0.13% of the workforce reported for the most serious breach of conduct expectations. This is a small number of employees relative to the total public sector workforce and overwhelmingly demonstrates that the majority of public servants are meeting or exceeding standards expected of them.
2014-2015 is the first year this information has been collected and published.
