Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) is the proud operator of Brisbane Airport (BNE), an award-winning airport that connects communities, drives innovation and supports sustainable growth.

Together with the 25,000 people who work at Brisbane Airport, BAC is building a hub  that connects people, creates community, and fuels the economy. Brisbane Airport contributes more than $5 billion annually to the economy, as Australia’s third-busiest and most domestically connected airport. Over the next five years, it will invest over $5 billion to expand, connecting communities and creating jobs.

From the many projects underway to the 2032 Olympic Games, BAC has an exciting future ahead—and understands that employees are key to this future’s success. This diverse and talented group of almost 500 professionals shapes BAC’s unique culture and reputation, reflecting the dynamic nature of the aviation industry itself.

BAC seeks to provide an engaging and interesting work environment that enables it to attract and retain new colleagues whose skills and drive will ensure its continued success. BAC’s most important priority is keeping people safe and recognising that looking after their wellbeing includes giving them opportunities to thrive. And just as BNE is a meeting place for people of all backgrounds, BAC seeks to reflect the diversity of its customers and communities.

To do this, BAC has a broad range of initiatives underway to engage its team and maintain its unique culture. This includes team strategy days, social events, regular all-staff forums, employee feedback opportunities, staff consultative groups, and many other initiatives. BAC also motivates its people through reward and incentive structures – from offering performance-based bonuses to all employees to a Long-Term Incentive Program and ongoing recognition for excellence.

As the results show, BAC is on the right path, and its culture is stronger than ever. According to BAC’s 2024 Employee Effectiveness Survey, conducted by the Korn Ferry Group, the organisation achieved an 87% response rate and a rating in the global high-performance range for both employee engagement and employee enablement. BAC’s employees are engaged and committed, with 82% of employees stating that BAC motivates them to exceed expectations, which is 18% higher than industry standards.

BAC has sustained employee engagement ratings above 75% for six consecutive years, while also boosting its enablement score by 13%. The survey showed that 67% of BAC employees are classified as “most effective” by Korn Ferry, which is 10% above the high-performance benchmark and 17% above the general industry average. Additionally, 88% of its workforce reports feeling proud to work at BAC, outperforming the industry benchmark by 13%.

BAC sees this pride every day in the excellent work its team does. However, BAC also understands that success requires constant improvement, and it is committed to this journey, as BAC aspires to be one of the world’s top employers and deliver on its vision to connect the world and create the future.
