In the interim the parties agree to cooperate on the introduction of the following initiatives as initial steps towards enhancing the way that staff are rewarded:

(a) improve the leadership/management skills of supervisors/managers through the introduction new training programs;
(b) encourage active participation of all staff in the career and performance development process under clause 55 (Career and performance development); and
