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 />
