Employment Figures

Our company continues to grow; we employed 1668 people at the close of the March 2007. An ongoing challenge is attracting and retaining people with the capabilities we need to achieve our business goals. Initiatives such as the employee referral scheme through to our analysis of why people leave the organisation are all aimed at meeting the labour market challenge. We have a turnover rate of 15.6%, which compares favourably with the AIIA industry average of 18.1%.

Reasons for voluntary and involuntary termination

We view turnover as both positive and negative, on one hand it provides us with the opportunity to bring in new people, and is expected as people look for new challenges and experiences. On the other hand the loss of knowledge and skills presents challenges, particularly in people who have just begun their career with us. We are constantly looking for ways to ensure that we provide viable career options that minimise turnover and people development is a key element of our retention strategies.
