Recruitment
Recruitment provides a great opportunity to welcome new people to our business.  All candidates should be treated equally and fairly.  Often this may be a person’s first experience with our company and it may be a lasting one.  Even if they are not successful in getting the job, they should have been treated fairly and professionally throughout the process.

Induction
It is very important to get off to a good start.  That’s why we place a lot of emphasis on a new employee’s induction.  A good induction will provide role clarity and reinforce why their job is important to the business.  It will also confirm in that person’s mind that they have made the right decision in joining our team.  We hope it marks the beginning of a long and successful career with Ausenco.

Learning & Development
Ausenco maintains a strong commitment to encouraging employee development through formal programs and on-the-job experiences.  This commitment is demonstrated through our investment in a number of initiatives including graduate development programs, leadership development, technical skills education, and external education support.

Performance
We believe that, given the right level of guidance, feedback, recognition and a positive work environment, most people will strive to do their best.

Remuneration & Benefits
At Ausenco, we recognise that our entire team contributes to our success and it is therefore important that we all have the opportunity to share in the associated rewards.  That’s why we place a great deal of importance on our reward package – we want to ensure that our remuneration and benefits are market-competitive so we can attract and retain the best people.

Leadership
Leadership is a key driver of culture and we recognise that an effective relationship between the manager and team member is a critical driver of employee satisfaction and commitment.  It is the role of each manager to ensure their people are provided with the resources, guidance and support necessary to meet clients’ needs and our business objectives.

Succession
We need to plan now for a sustainable future; it is not an option to leave it to chance.  We will most certainly employ people from outside the business and the injection of diverse experience and new outlooks is invaluable.  However, this should be done in a planned manner and be combined with our strategy of ‘growing our own’ people because we recognise that our clients and our people will benefit from a continuity of the culture and values that has provided the foundations of our success.

Ethics & Fairness
Ausenco is committed to operating to the highest standards of ethical behaviour, honesty and fairness in all relationships with our stakeholders.
As representatives of the company, all Ausenco employees are expected to work in accordance with these principles, as a minimum, at all times.  Our leaders are responsible for setting a personal example and ensuring that the work environment and management practices support these principles.

Communication
Communication is a vital tool in achieving our business goals.  Our communication strategies are designed to: facilitate strong relationships with all stakeholders; build and protect Ausenco’s reputation; allow us to communicate in ways that meet stakeholders’ needs; and engage, inform and recognise our people.
