Civica
Civica has been selected as an Employer of Choice in The Australian Business Awards 2022. The Australian Business Award for Employer of Choice [EOC] recognises organisations that develop workplaces that maximise the full potential of their workforce through established policies and practices which demonstrate effective employee recruitment, engagement and retention.
Diversity and inclusion are a big part of Civica’s culture and one of the many reasons employees stay. To create and sustain an environment where colleagues feel a sense of belonging and are able to bring their true selves to work requires a well thought out strategy that is driven from the top down. For this reason, Civica’s CEO and all senior leaders invest time in diversity and inclusion awareness training. To celebrate the diversity within Civica a growing number of global affinity groups have formed, giving employees from all walks of life the opportunity to come together and share their experiences, and if needed, advocate for change. A small example of some of the groups currently operating are – LGBTQIA+, Race and Ethnicity, Parents and Guardians and 60 + (appendix H).
Additionally, Civica invests heavily in employee development and growth through programs that are proving to bring out the best in their teams, encouraging all employees to be a ‘Chief Learning Officer’. Civica’s enviable NPS score of 47 reflects the positive culture that thrives on teamwork, non-hierarchical structure and friendly relationships with colleagues.
Taking a collaborative approach when working with customers, including any feedback offered, is always highly encouraged by Civica. This approach continues to work for not only Civica’s customers and employees but for the organisation as well, demonstrated by its unbroken fiscal growth over the last 20 years.
Civica’s mission – to change the world, is ambitious but by meeting the needs of the public sector through the development of innovative products and services while at the same time attracting the most passionate, smart and innovative employees Civica is well placed to achieve it.
