Our People

At CCA people are our business. We foster an open and inclusive environment in which our people can strive to ‘always look for a better way’.

We actively promote diversity and equality in our workplace. We know our people work hard and, as we move forward, we are putting measures in place to encourage a healthy work-life balance for our employees. We are committed to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, suppliers, contractors and visitors. We constructively deal with our people in good faith, while respecting our relationships with our people and/or any representatives they may choose.

These commitments not only meet all legal requirements and national standards in the countries in which we do business, but also cultivate a highly motivated, productive and committed workforce that drives our business success.

Becoming an 'Employer of Choice'

CCA is working to establish strong relationships with our employees through open and honest communication. It is important to us that our employees are treated with fairness, dignity and respect. We aim to provide a supportive environment that allows our people to explore their potential and perform their jobs to the best of their ability.

      Work-life balance

CCA recognises that our employees are constantly juggling commitments from their home, work and personal lives. At different times in an employees’ career they may need greater work flexibility and we aim to assist them in achieving a healthy work-life balance.

We provide a number of employee benefits including flexible working arrangements through our Flexible Work Options Policy, such as job sharing and part-time work, volunteer services leave, and paid parental and adoption leave.

In 2006, in recognition of the fact that our employees may wish to take more than their usual annual leave entitlement, we introduced our Annual Leave Salary Sacrifice Plan, whereby employees are able to purchase additional annual leave.

      Learning and Development

CCA employs quality people and develops them for current and future roles within a climate of continual learning.

We provide appropriate and meaningful learning opportunities so that our employees can perform at their maximum potential and develop personally and professionally.

We believe that a productive learning and development environment can be achieved through the consistent application of these basic steps:

Ø       Incorporating Learning and Development into Functional Business Plans

Ø       Ensuring access and equity in the provision for and conduct of training and assessment opportunities via our individual development plans for employees

Ø       Educating employees about learning and development opportunities

Ø       Providing performance management materials on our intranet.

      Remuneration

CCA believes in paying competitively within each market in which we operate. We hold each other accountable for performance and reward employees commensurate with their performance.

Our remuneration and benefits are reviewed regularly to ensure they are fair and in line with the current market.

     Whistleblower Protection

The values and behaviours outlined in our company Code of Conduct encourage employees to report any form of suspected fraud, corruption or other unacceptable behaviour. Our Whistleblower Protection Policy offers a channel of communication, support and protection for employees who report such incidents.

     Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity

At CCA, we value diversity. We believe in equal opportunity employment and foster a work environment which is inclusive and allows all employees to develpo both personally and professionally. We are committed to providing a safe and harmonious work environment free from harassment and discrimination and in line with legislative requirements. Our Working Together Policy outlines this commitment.

In addition, there are a number of procedures and initiatives in place that ensure we fulfil our commitment to being an equal opportunity employer. Initiatives, such as increasing the number of women in our workplace ensure that we continue to improve in this area.

      Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)

The occupational health, safety and welfare of all employees are of primary concern to CCA management. We are dedicated to the provision of a healthy and safe workplace.

We acknowledge that OH&S is the responsibility of management and every employee, and we recognise the importance of leading and promoting the highest principles and practices to ensure health and safety across our operations.

This is evident through our health and safety philosophy:

Ø       All accidents, incidents and occupational illnesses are preventable

Ø       All managers are accountable for the management of health and safety, injury management and workers compensation

Ø       Executive management have direct involvement in the OH&S Management System and Workers Compensation System

Ø       Occupational health and safety is a condition of employment and all employees are responsible for complying with legislative and company OH&S requirements

Ø       Training is a critical component of the OH&S, compensation and injury programs

Ø       Safety audits and inspections are carried out by all organisation levels

Ø       All hazards and deficiencies shall be corrected promptly

Ø       Off-the-job health and safety is an important part of the health and safety effort.
