We are now a Tasmanian Employer of Choice!
Chosen by an independent panel of employment experts, we were recognised at a recent event hosted by Jobs Tasmania (Department of State Growth), where Tasmanian Minister for Skills, Training and Employment Felix Ellis acknowledged our induction as a 2024 Employer of Choice.
The event saw employers from a range of industries come together to celebrate best practice. The theme of the event was health and wellbeing.
The Employer of Choice Program (Tas) recognises employers that are creating positive workplaces, by caring about their people and building well-managed, inspiring workplaces, providing our business with a competitive edge in attracting and retaining staff.
The program has been around since 2008 and is well known in the Tasmanian community. We are now part of that special group of employers in the State.
We have recently welcomed Anna Pearson to the role of General Manager Human Resources. With over 12 years of experience within the business, Anna has supported both the McConnell Dowell Group and Aveng Group with her exceptional leadership and commitment to fostering a strong people-focused culture. Throughout her career, Anna’s qualifications in psychology and business have been pivotal in driving the organisation's development agenda, ensuring that people remain at the core of strategic decision-making.
Anna’s contributions to the business include the integration of McConnell Dowell Corporate and Aveng during the 2024 leadership transition, the deployment of leadership programs with Melbourne Business School, the digitalisation of HR reporting to Power BI, the introduction of comprehensive job evaluation and grading process, and the implementation of a multi-national payroll and HR Information System. She has also been instrumental in advancing the company’s commitment to gender equality, spearheading early initiatives such as pay equity reviews and improvements to parental leave policies.
We are confident that Anna’s experience, strategic insight, and passion for people will play a vital role in further enhancing the company’s culture and driving its growth.
