The Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) is the national
association representing human resource and people management
professionals.
AHRI is all about 'good HR'. But when it comes to the AHRI
Awards they are looking for the best. And that doesn't necessarily
involve a big budget and team. The best HR practices come in many
different forms and often encompass creativity, passion and the
ability to make a difference, no matter the size of your
organisation.
PACCAR AUSTRALIA was presented with the prestigious AHRI Rob
Goffee Award for Talent Management 2014, at the awards event at the
Star in Sydney, in front of over 500 attendees representing over 60
major companies across Australia.
This award is based on the identification, acquisition and
retention of employees and recognises PACCAR's strength in building
a pipeline of talent within the company.
In accepting the award, Robert Brierley, Human Resources
Manager, PACCAR Australia, noted the contributions of Paul Wiffrie,
Learning & Development Manager and Christine Bombinski, HR
Services Manager, in developing and delivering the extensive
program.
As Mike Dozier, PACCAR Australia Managing Director observed;
"We are always delighted to be recognised for our focus on
employees, having previously twice won Victorian Employer of the
Year. PACCAR Australia continues to be successful by being
innovative - by delivering superior products, introducing new
technology and, most importantly, by listening to our customers and
meeting their needs. However identifying, attracting, retaining and
developing a talented pool of employees is critical to this success
and continues to enhance our ability to better service our
customers across the country. This philosophy extends throughout
PACCAR Australia and our dealer network. For example, our
commitment to education programs for our employees goes far beyond
the graduate program, and includes trade skills such as
certificates in automotive and process manufacturing; as well as
management programs, including certificates and diplomas in
business administration, automotive sales, and supply chain and
logistics management.
It is truly an investment in our future and in Australian
manufacturing" he concluded.
