Caring for Our Colleagues, Clients And Communities
As WSP’s Australian business continues to grow over the next strategic cycle between 2019-2021, we will deliver on this by continuing to care for our colleagues, partners, clients and communities.
This means everything from the health and safety of the people and environments, as well as the quality of service we deliver to our clients.
Hear from Guy Templeton, President and CEO ANZ on making WSP place and partner to our clients and communities.
Safety First
In living one of our guiding principles, we are focussed on the safety of our people and getting everyone home to their loved ones.
Guy says, “It’s very easy to walk by and not feel that you’re fully empowered to address issues that you see. I encourage our people to have the courage to call out situations that put the safety of our staff or community at risk. Being proactive is the key to an engrained safety culture.”
Health and Wellbeing
Beyond physical safety, importantly, we strive to improve the health, wellbeing and mindfulness of our people particularly as our workforce expands and diversifies.
“I’m very concerned about the change of mental health in our society and industry. Something we can all do is look out for our colleagues – think about their mood and pay attention to any warning signs that may indicate they are struggling. It’s tremendously powerful to reach out and ask how people are going. The act of reaching out and showing compassion to our colleagues is part of what makes WSP special.”
Environment
Globally, WSP holds ourselves accountable for future generations and has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions by >5% by 2021. With air travel being the biggest contributor of GHG emissions, we are asking our people to think twice before getting on a plane and reducing overall travel. In addition, we will be upgrading our corporate car fleet to hybrid or electric powered vehicles.
Quality and Reliability in Our Delivery
Clients continue to tell us that they want to work with firms that have reliability of delivery and complete integrity in the execution of projects. To achieve an exceptional client experience, we stand by doing what we say we are going to do, when we say we are going to do it.
