KU recognises that staff are our
greatest asset, and we work hard and
invest strongly in making sure the best
and most experienced professionals
choose and stay with KU. We know
the best results are achieved when we
can connect our organisational goals
and values to personal values. At KU,
our leadership model is clearly based
around living the clearly articulated
KU values, and pleasingly in the 2017
Employee Engagement Survey 95%
of staff believed KU lived its values.
In 2017, KU was again honoured to
be awarded as an Employer of Choice
for the second consecutive year,
by the Australian Business Awards.
This recognises that KU’s integrated
Employee Value Proposition remains
at the forefront of the early education
sector. This brings together our
individual working environments,
our approach to remuneration and
benefits, the opportunities offered to
staff to engage in ongoing professional
learning, and our approaches to career
and succession planning.
In order to remain an Employer of
Choice, KU is constantly looking to
improve our environments, systems
and processes, and an important part
of this is that staff have a strong voice
in the ongoing development of KU.
In 2017, staff provided critical input
