Our Paradise Beverages team has a mission to be recognised as an employer of choice, creating world-class beverages and making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate.

In 2018, to help achieve our mission we enhanced our leadership development program with a particular focus on inclusive leadership development and strengths-based capability training. We aim to help build the leaders of tomorrow for the company, and for Fiji.

The leadership development program included a series of initiatives including:

• Discovering Possibilities
• Leadership Speaker Series
• Sisterhood Fiji program
• Actionable Conversations
• David Gonski – Women in Leadership
• Leadership Fiji
• Pay it Forward

“We saw a tremendous ripple effect as a result of these programs, which helped drive pride in our business and re-invigorate motivation across our wider team. Diversity of thought, inclusive leaderships and behaviours, active listening and communications were some of the areas we talked about openly and authentically shared.

Some of the quick wins that came out of the program included the introduction of Business Updates across the company and uplifts in employee engagements in the respective business units. We will definitely repeat the program and push the boundaries again in 2019.” — Mike Spencer General Manager Paradise Beverages.
