Employees are encouraged to work together as a team to achieve project delivery as one entity and success is celebrated together.
The senior leadership team meets quarterly to share and discuss strategic direction, market positioning and opportunities. While the four offices operate independently, there are synergies between each which allows optimisation of knowledge, relationships and talent.
The organisational culture is shaped by the senior leaders of the company and company values created by employees of Rork Projects who collaboratively developed the commitment statement and cultural values. As the company’s senior leaders model expected behaviours and reward the demonstration of these values, there is clear alignment of employee behaviour to the company’s commitment and values.
