Working at GWA

At GWA we have a clear purpose of Making Life Better with Superior Solutions for Water.  In a world where water scarcity is increasing at an alarming rate, working as part of a business that is dedicated to delivering sustainable water solutions is what drives our people to achieve their best, each and every day. 

Our culture is focused around three cultural pillars, that are at the heart of everything we do. These pillars form the values that our people live by, and they demonstrate them daily, not just in what they are doing, but in how they are doing it.

We All Lead – we look to everyone in our business to be a leader and hold themselves accountable for bringing to life our purpose of Making Life Better.  We are boldly creative, agile, curious and forward thinking and work as one team, with a common purpose to achieve ambitious results.

We are Customer Focused and Consumer Driven – we have our customers and consumers at the heart of everything we do, always.  We pride ourselves on our deep understanding of our customers and we use this to develop plans that will grow both their business and ours.  We are constantly focused on our consumers, always knowing what they want and ensuring our plans can deliver on their needs.

We Care for Each Other – nothing is more important to us than safety.  We care for each other, have each other’s backs and we aim for a zero-harm working environment.  We want our people to be safe, at home and at work, every day, and we expect everyone in our business to take safety seriously.  We treat everyone with respect, we celebrate success and we take time to recognise each other’s contributions.

At GWA Learning and Development is a priority.  We believe that everyone keeps learning, every day and we make it as easy as possible for our people to drive their own development.  We have a range of learning and development platforms to suit everyone, so that every day can be a learning day!

Great Beginnings – is our group wide on-boarding program that our new starters take part in.  Our approach to on-boarding is to drive social connectivity, alignment to our purpose and cultural pillars and provide the support to allow our new team members to flourish in their roles from the very beginning of their journey at GWA.

We also have a range of group wide learning events that are available to all our employees:

Great Conversations – our premium learning event where  we bring employees together to inform and inspire new ways of working, through quality conversations from both internal and external speakers.

Good to Know – an interesting alternative to your typical lunch break, these sessions are hosted by a range of speakers and the topics are both interesting and relevant to audiences across the business.

H2O – our How 2 Operate sessions are short webinars that provide training on operational or technical ‘hot topics’.

iLead – is our leadership competency framework that outlines the competencies that we believe are necessary to be successful at GWA.  All our development programs are aligned to building competencies within this framework.

iLearn – is our online learning platform, with a wealth of resources, online training and learning opportunities available at any time, with the click of a button.

At GWA we are committed to Making Life Better for the communities in which we live.  We have a range of charity partners that we support across our different locations.  We encourage all our people to get involved, by supporting internal events and fundraisers, or taking time outside of work to take part in charity events.  Our current charity partners include The Smith Family in Australia and Sustainable Coastlines in New Zealand and we support Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK.

We have a range of benefits at GWA to Make Life Better for all our employees too.  From employee discounts on our huge range of products, to our Great Rewards program that provides exclusive discounts and offers on your everyday shopping.  We also have a range of offers available, based on your location, from health insurance discounts, to gym offers and travel discounts.  Working at GWA really can make your life better!
