Every company seems to state that the people are the most important part of the business, well Buderim Ginger can back this up as we are proud to announce that we have won the regional and rural category of the ACCI/BCA National Work and Family Awards 2004. This commendation is for outstanding commitment to meeting the needs of its staff and its business needs with a range of work and family initiatives.
The reasons for this award are best summarised in the Judges comments “Buderim Ginger is an excellent example of how a medium sized regionally based business can compete effectively in the world market because of its commitment to quality products and its employees. The company has developed a supportive and flexible working environment for its employees, many of whom have been with the company for many years. It has a progressive and inclusive management style and demonstrates a genuine commitment to supporting employees balance their work and family lives. The company’s management are active participants in their region, working in networks with other small business managers and communities”.
Not only does this environment create great staff morale, but it is also part of the secret in creating the World’s Finest Ginger. Our staff are passionate about what they do and low absenteeism and high staff retention evidence this. 56 percent of staff have been employed for over 5 years.
