Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing
Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing has been recognised as an Employer of Choice in The Australian Business Awards 2015. The Australian Business Award for Employer of Choice recognises organisations which have developed leading workplaces that maximise the full potential of their workforce through practices that demonstrate effective employee recruitment, engagement and retention.
Since its inception Sanitarium Health has operated as a 100% Australian owned company, with all profits donated to the Seventh Day Adventist Church to be returned to the community.
The company has a turnover rate of around 1% per year, which is a lot lower than the market average. Sanitarium puts this down to selecting the right people for the right job. A suite of e-Learning programs are offered to staff that provide on the job training, off site training, retreats, workshops, peer coaching and webinars. Every 6 and 12 months there are salary reviews, with progression based closely on behaviours, development and performance. Annual Christmas gift cards are given to all employees, service recognition for career milestones and employee of the month programs are implemented to reward hard working staff.
