PEOPLE

At Rowland, our mantra is that business is all about relationships. Internal relationships and looking after our people is just as important as external relationships. After all, we are a people business. Attracting and retaining the best people works for our clients and it works for us.

We invest in the professional and personal wellbeing of our people through our Acceler8 program.

Acceler8 provides eight key planks that allow Rowland to continue to progress the business in an environment that supports and nurtures our people, provides unlimited opportunities for professional and personal growth, and where we recruit the right people.

So how do we attract and retain intelligent and savvy people? The answer isn't simple, there is no exact formula, but there are certainly some critical ingredients - and these should never be compromised.

For Rowland those ingredients are Excellence, Integrity, Proactivity, Success, Energy, Courage and Teamwork - our values. We use these to guide our everyday decisions and help us build for the future.

Some programs in the Acceler8 framework include:

Mentoring program

Our mentoring program is designed to provide a one-on-one mentoring relationship between people with different levels of experience and expertise to help our people learn the skills, attitudes and values required to be successful at Rowland, and to make Rowland successful. People have varying objectives regarding what they want out of a mentoring relationship and therefore we offer various types of mentoring including career mentoring, transition mentoring, skills mentoring and new hire mentoring.

Transition programs

Transition Programs were developed to provide our people with a structured program to progress to the next level of responsibility at Rowland. It ensures people are ready for the next step, through customised programs aimed at closing identified skill gaps. The program also helps ensure we retain our standard and quality of work during growth periods.

Acceler8 Your Wellbeing

While professional development is critical, so is personal development. Rowland's Wellbeing program offers our people expertise in personal financial management and nutrition, offers vaccinations, massage, yoga and other activities our people tell us they're interested in.
