Our Full Time Equivalents (FTE) increased most substantially from last year (16% increase) while headcount increased by only 6.6%. This demonstrates that Northcott has used staff more efficiently and effectively over the course of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Our permanent staff attrition rate for the 12 months ending June 2024 is 16.6%, a decrease on the previous year (19.15%). This decrease was significant in the first half of the financial year, with five consecutive months of reducing turnover. This resulted in turnover reaching its lowest mark during the year \u2013 16.3% in November 2023. Since December 2023 until June 2024 the turnover has been fairly steady, with a slight upward trend. This figure is also much lower than the industry average, as per AON Hewitt Remuneration report which has Community and Social Services turnover rate of 26.2%. Our frontline worker turnover rate is much lower (as per NDIS Workforce census report). Permanent frontline turnover for Northcott is 12% (compared to industry average of 32%) and Casual Frontline Turnover is 33% (compared to industry average of 48%).<\/p>\n<p>We continued to offer flexible work practices and other employee benefits to attract and retain staff. We also provide access to learning and development programs so our team members can develop and nurture their professional skills.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h4>Workplace Health and Safety<\/h4>\n<p>This year, Northcott made significant strides in enhancing workplace safety by developing and implementing multiple Work Health and Safety (WHS) plans. We did this to ensure compliance with safety standards and regulations while prioritising the wellbeing of Northcott workers. By aligning these plans with the Northcott Work Health and Safety Management Framework, we demonstrated our commitment to fostering a safe and secure environment for all employees.<\/p>\n<p>A crucial aspect of this initiative involved enhancing the skills of frontline managers in reducing injury risks, intervening early, and promptly reporting incidents. There was a strong emphasis on promoting our workers&#8217; mental health and addressing their emotional responses to incidents.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h4>Northcott Wellbeing Program<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;400 wellbeing calls made to staff by Injury Management<br \/>\nSpecialists and our mental health first aiders.&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|text_align:left|color:%231d4e97&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1729826219835{background-color: #F4F9FF !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;content_bgr single mar_bot25&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Our Northcott Injury Management Specialists have overseen the Wellbeing Program, focused on fostering a mentally healthy workplace environment for all employees. The main goal of the Wellbeing Program has been to offer support to staff impacted by incidents such as the passing of a customer or involvement in critical situations.<\/p>\n<h4>Incident Reporting<\/h4>\n<p>This year there was a renewed focus on incident reporting, particularly in relation to raising awareness about including all staff present during incidents in reports. This aimed to capture a comprehensive view of incidents and enhance the wellbeing of staff who may have had an emotional response to an incident.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the year, the WHS team actively encouraged managers and employees to use the reporting system promptly whenever incidents occurred, emphasising its potential benefits for all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>The team also placed a strong emphasis on early intervention and the improvement of injury management systems and processes, with the goal of reducing injury severity and shortening absenteeism periods.<\/p>\n<p>The introduction of Noggin 2.0 (the next version of our risk management platform) has enhanced the ability of frontline staff to promptly and effortlessly notify the business of incidents involving physical or emotional responses among staff.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221;

He has an in-depth understanding of his customers and is consistently the calm voice of reason that our customers respect, need and appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond his role, Shyam has poured his heart into transforming the house into a home. Starting with a stunning feature wall at the entrance, and then revamping the customers&#8217; rooms, to their changing needs and preferences.<br \/>\nShyam really wanted his customers to feel proud of their home. He used his lunch breaks and free time to make the house feel more welcoming and comfortable for them.
