One size approach does not necessarily work anymore e.g. generational presence in the workplace

Workplace – leadership, infrastructure, people management approach, HR team

People development – career progression, learning, opportunities

Workplace culture: performing culture, corporate responsibility, managing our diversity, norms, practices

“The HR team will lead by example working to build a culture of high

performing individuals of high energy & commitment, who understand that continuous

improvement & customer service are competencies that should be

integrated into every position of the organisation.”
