We are proud of the
people that make
ARTC what it is today.
With more than 1,100
employees across four
states, we know it’s
important to value,
reward and support our
teams because they’re
the key to our company’s
future success. This
year, our Transformation
Program has been at
the core of many of
our highlights when it
comes to developing and
engaging our employees
and we’ve also continued
to deliver important
training programs.
PEOPLE
Highlights for the year include:
•
•
New business structures, supported by new
teams which improve our ability to provide
outstanding customer service and attract
new customers to rail.
•
•
A mentoring program, created to support the
professional development of employees at
all levels and areas of the company. We’re
also proud of the fact that 50 percent of our
people being mentored are women because
we know that will support our goal to
increase the representation of women in our
management ranks.
•
•
Introducing new initiatives to increase our
people’s awareness of the importance we
place on creating a diverse workforce,
through our diversity strategy. In particular,
trialling unconscious bias training, promoting
important cultural, gender, disability
and LGBTI events within the company,
celebrating International Women’s Day, and
providing first hand insight from one of our
indigenous staff members on how to deliver
an Acknowledgement of Country.

opportunities for our people including Code
of Conduct, Project Management and
Certificate IV in Mechanical Rail Signalling.
