Fundamental to EGL’s success is a highly motivated, energetic and skilled team with a shared vision of creating a sustainable, profitable, ethical corporation serving our communities. EGL is fortunate to possess such a team.

As EGL expands we are creating new and varied opportunities for our employees – challenges that will lead to a strong, stable and multi-skilled team.

Employer of Choice

EGL is committed to being an Employer of Choice. We highlight some of the key measures adopted by EGL to achieve this status.

Selection		EGL appoints the best candidate for each position. A formal assessment is made of each applicant’s qualifications and skills. Short listed candidates are then assessed for their compatibility with EGL’s culture and ethical standing.
Induction		Every new employee undertakes a formal induction program and is provided with an information package outlining the Company’s policies and procedures.
Training		EGL’s Staff Training Program provides an average of 20 to 25 hours of training per employee per year in a range of skill and personal development areas.
Appraisals		A formal appraisal of all staff is undertaken annually. The Board’s performance is also reviewed every 12 months. Staff appraisals provide a guided opportunity for feedback and encouragement between an employee and their immediate supervisor. All employee appraisals are reviewed by the Managing Director.
Career Development		Where appropriate, employees are encouraged to develop a career plan to avail themselves of opportunities for expanding their skills and experience and for advancement.
Communication		EGL strives to provide clear channels of communication including frequent formal and informal social gatherings and a Human Resources Committee to encourage employees to be actively involved in the Company’s development.
Incentives		EGL has introduced a staff bonus scheme and a staff share plan. Bonuses have been paid to selected staff based on performance over the last two financial years. The staff share plan is today one of the Company’s largest shareholders.
Community Involvement		Employees are encouraged to share their skills, energy and enthusiasm with the wider community and to enhance the quality, depth and number of linkages with the community.
Policies		EGL corporate policies in fields as diverse as governance, quality and ethics are developed with input from employees. Once adopted such policies are quickly and openly made available to all employees. Ethics Equal opportunity, positive support, honesty, equity and openness characterise the operation of the Company.
Stability		For the third year in a row, staff turnover was very low, providing stability and reducing EGL’s risk profile. This reflects, in part, the comprehensive program that EGL has, as an Employer of Choice, introduced over the period to enhance our motivated and committed team.
