Paper to Paperless

Our first stage of the transition from paper to paperless has started 😊

This week our Operations Teams received training on our Field Devices (tablets) and our purpose built paperless system.

The mobile technology with electronic documentation, will improve the exchange of live information and communication, control of documents and records, and reduce our environmental impact.

Although our facilities and operations have a small ecological footprint, we are committed to our sustainability initiatives, innovation and waste reduction practices.

Engagement was high and a great turnout for our Sydney depot who continue to show their commitment to our LackSafe program. Great work team.

LackSafe Re-Engage - Re-Ignite

LackSafe Re-Engage - Re-Ignite

Yesterday our Executive Director and Group Managers’ Operations and LackSafe conducted our first monthly LackSafe Engagement session in Northern NSW.

Our engagement sessions will be notably smaller as we align with the requirements for social distancing and social gatherings.

However, we see this as an opportunity where our people will feel more comfortable to open up, as many prefer talking in small groups.

Working together with one of our key client’s, we also took this opportunity to actively participate in our client’s program by “taking the lead” to show visible collaborative leadership.

We thank Derek for allowing us to conduct our session on the project and for taking the time to be actively involved in our session. Our employee’s feedback was very positive towards our client being interested and involved in what we do to engage with our people.

National Reconciliation Week

National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians - as individuals, families, communities, organisations and importantly as a nation to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

As an Indigenous owned company Lack Groups vision for reconciliation is to be committed to building our relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, organisations, and communities.

We aim to educate our staff to a better understanding of the importance of these relationships and their cultures and histories, to ensure they are celebrated and respected.

We can all play a part, big and small, on the journey towards reconciliation.
