The power workers <strong>of</strong> tomorrow: <strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong>’s 2010 intake <strong>of</strong> First Year Apprentices.<br />

Registered training<br />

organisation (RTO) status<br />

In May 2011, the Vocational<br />

Education and Training Accreditation<br />

Board (VETAB) conducted an<br />

AQTF2007 compliance audit<br />

based on <strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong>’s<br />

scope <strong>of</strong> registration as a training<br />

organisation. This was the third<br />

external audit conducted by VETAB<br />

since 2000 in which we achieved zero<br />

non-compliances. Our registration as<br />

a registered training organisation is<br />

now current until June 2016.<br />

People policies<br />

and practices<br />

<strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> is committed<br />

to building an engaged, capable<br />

workforce that will enable us to<br />

achieve our business priorities.<br />

The engagement <strong>of</strong> employees,<br />

the alignment <strong>of</strong> culture to<br />

business strategy and the building<br />

<strong>of</strong> organisational capability are<br />

three key areas <strong>of</strong> strategic focus<br />

that guide the development and<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong> a broad program<br />

<strong>of</strong> initiatives. These are discussed in<br />

more detail on page 17.<br />

Leadership and<br />

development<br />

programs<br />

<strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> has a clear<br />

view <strong>of</strong> the leadership capability<br />

we need to deliver our business<br />

strategy. It has been defined in our<br />

Leadership Competency Framework<br />

which in turn forms the basis <strong>of</strong><br />

how we develop and manage the<br />

performance <strong>of</strong> our leaders.<br />

Leadership competency<br />

framework<br />

Development <strong>of</strong> leaders continues<br />

to be a major focus. We have rolled<br />

out programs for most management<br />

levels, and further programs<br />

targeting frontline leadership are in<br />

advanced stages <strong>of</strong> development.<br />
