Publication:Sea Talk Spring 2003/'Outreach' CD at sea
Personnel issues, Reserves & Defence Renewal information now available on all ships
By Brendan Eve
Have you had trouble accessing information on personnel issues such as pay, conditions, health, safety, equity, honours and awards while you've been on board a ship? What about information about Reserve service, or the Defence renewal agenda?
The Outreach CD is now available on the NAVSISLAN aboard all MFUs via 'Start' > 'Programs' > 'Reference Manuals' > 'Outreach'. It is also available to MWVs via the auto start function on the CD.
The CD contains information found on the Defence Personnel Executive, Reserves and Defence Renewal websites, and is designed for those Defence people without access to the web, or whose access is poor.
The CD contains publications such as all three volumes of the Pay& Conditions manual, the Member's Guide to ADF Pay & Conditions and SAFETYMAN. The latest issue of Defence FAMILY MATTERS is always available as well.
Information is available on the Secretary and CDF's renewal agenda, including the Defence Strategy Map, values in Defence, senior leadership events and the Results through People network. Services provided by Renewal Branch on request, including renewal briefings and change facilitation workshops, are also outlined.
ADF Reserve Members will find information on the Employer Support Payment Scheme and the Office of Reserve Service Protection, both of which can be very helpful to the growing number of Naval Reservists serving on board. This includes copies of forms and the other policy relating to the Reserve.
You'll also find information on safety management, career transition assistance, education and training, the Defence Health Service, military compensation and rehabilitation, honours and awards, equity, PMKeyS and much more.
The CD is updated monthly, so you can be sure you're getting the latest policy, news and information.
