Not bottle up issues with a colleague but communicate how you feel and take the energy out of the situation.” Internal promotion is a big thing also at Croft Poles & Timber, where staff are encouraged over time to move to different divisions should they wish to. The dispatch team leader and the production manager began working in the mill. “We advertise internally to give staff an opportunity to move in new directions here.” Other progressive thinking happens. Quarterly targets are set and if achieved everyone gets a pay-rise. A wellness committee where goals are set annually. Currently staff are participating in literacy and numeracy courses to empower them. The next focus will be financial health. “I think it is really important that those in leadership roles here walk the talk and lead by example. We have worked hard to break down barriers of opportunities and access for people between management and staff.” Audrey says it’s been quite amazing to see the buy-in and engagement of all staff to promote a healthier and better workplace environment.
