Training and
Development
The Company encourages
training and development
for all team members, with a
signifcant focus on practical
engagement with our key
partners and stakeholders.
In the past year, Bell Gully,
McCaw Lewis and other
partners have presented
seminars on topical business
and economic issues.
External training priorities
have also been clarifed
to better match course
selection with TGH’s skill and
competency requirements.
All employees are required
to have a training and
development plan focusing
on development and growth,
and this is monitored
during their performance
management process.
Health and
Safety
TGH is committed to
providing a safe workplace
and has promoted a higher
degree of health and
safety consciousness in the
workplace. This has involved
monthly hazard review
processes being undertaken
at key sites including The
Base.
Over the past fnancial year,
the company has had three
work related incidents, with
no hours lost out of more than
54,000 hours worked by all
its employees.
Information
Technology
The implementation
of a human resource
information system (HRIS)
has optimised the people
function by improving leave
management, as well as
effciency and effectiveness
in people support. TGH
continues to assess intranet
and other opportunities
to improve engagement
of team members in the
company’s business.
Aubrey joined TGH as part of
its graduate programme and
then successfully applied for
a full-time job at The Base.
Poonam landed at TGH as
an accountant in 2007, and
has since been promoted
to the role of Management
Accountant. In 2011, she
successfully passed the
required exams to become a
Chartered Accountant.
They come from very different
backgrounds but there are
strong commonalities in their
experiences working for the
company.
The opportunities to learn
come top of the list. “I’d
recommend the company for
anyone interested in property,”
says Aubrey. “It has good
corporate disciplines in place
and provides a professional
work environment.”
At TGH he’s worked on the Te
AWA opening, investigated
the impact of the Emissions
Trading Scheme, co-managed
a small construction project
and developed a strategic
facilities management plan for
The Base.
“I’ve been given real
opportunities to grow
professionally. I’m not sure
I would’ve got that level of
exposure in a larger company.”
“New duties keep being
added to my job description!”
says Poonam happily. Her
responsibilities cover fnancial
management for both TGH
and the tribe, but she has also
picked up work on other TGH
subsidiaries and tribal entities.
“I can see myself being here for
a while. There’s a real variety of
things to do, and you’re given a
lot of responsibility.”
Both also value the culture.
“It’s a very open and friendly
workplace,” says Poonam.
Aubrey echoes this. “We’re a
really good team.”
