Our people

Values

INTEGRITY

We are ethical, honest and trusted to do the right thing.

RESPECT

We listen and treat others as we expect to be treated.

RESPONSIBILITY

We are empowered and accountable for our actions.

WELLBEING

We all seek to prevent harm, promote safety and enhance health.

RESILIENCE

We are adaptable and see opportunity in change.

COLLABORATION

We work together and focus on the best outcome.

People & culture

We value our people and the differences and similarities each individual contributes, and are dedicated to building a fair and dynamic workplace.

We recognise the best business outcomes and innovations are driven by ideas and opinions from diverse teams given the difference individuals bring from their own backgrounds, values, perspectives, and experience.

Our Diversity & Inclusion Framework guides our efforts to increasing diversity of thought and experience at New Hope, with practical actions across the areas of physical environment, education programs, leadership, values and behaviours, mentorship and development, and employment pathways.

The Framework builds upon our efforts to date, much of which have focused on female participation given the low gender diversity in our industry. Recognising the power of recruitment practices, we have a target to recruit new employees of 40 per cent male: 40 per cent female: 20 per cent any gender. For annual progress see our Sustainability Report and associated data books.

Safety & wellbeing

New Hope’s core value of wellbeing reflects our focus on preventing harm, promoting safety, and enhancing health – so our people go home at the end of the day unharmed.

We seek to operate in a manner that protects the health, safety and wellbeing of all employees, contractors, and the public. We also proactively pursue the elimination of work-related injuries, occupational illnesses and psychological harm in our workplaces. Ours is a high-risk industry and we continually work to improve our systems, process and culture to maintain a safe working environment.

Mental health and wellbeing are key contributors to physical health and safety, and we have a range of programs to help our people identify signs of mental ill-health, and to set and achieve healthy lifestyle goals. These initiatives are in addition to our free and confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which helps our people, and their families, address mental health and wellbeing concerns with experienced, independent specialists.
