I have personally developed a tool to assess the risk of Modern Slavery within the company's Supply Chain, with several successful assessments made, and deployment to the Procurement department to assist in future supplier on boarding assessments. This tool was developed as an advanced and unrequired level of response to the development of legislative requirements around Modern Slavery.

As cliché as it sounds, the people here are one of Austal’s best assets. They are usually happy to help. The Grads have formed a good group and we organise social events and have lunch together on regular basis. Also, we help each other out with technical job related issues or advice.

In general, however, there is an emphasis on accessibility and support from management, with key factors being frequent formal and informal communication between managers and staff. Managers are approachable and will happily be a bouncing-board for ideas and suggestions.

On top of this, managers also act as mentors to encourage personal and professional growth. This includes discussing performance by giving constructive suggestions, as well as acknowledging both personal and professional achievements.
