All staff undergo annual Performance Appraisals with their managers. This provides the opportunity to review the past year, consider the achievements, the areas for improvement and identify training and development needs. There are also formal objectives set in place for the following year.
All Austereo employees have a training and development plan. This identifies areas for development and specific courses that the employee needs to complete during the year, in line with the areas identified during their appraisal.
Professional development is seen as a shared responsibility between employees and their managers – and there are many success stories of people who have achieved their career aspirations.
In addition to supporting career development within Austereo, we are also proud to be a founding sponsor of NGen, a youth initiatve from the Media Federation of Australia. For further information, please visit www.ngen.org.au
