Diversity Projects
Interrelate is committed to maintaining a fair, equitable and diverse workplace. As part of this commitment,
a review of our diversity and inclusion was undertaken. This included a Cultural Diversity survey which took
place in January 2016.
The review demonstrated that Interrelate has a strong focus on diversity with a number of initiatives already
in place, with the aim to make improvements for both employees and clients. One of the key outcomes of
the review was the development of the Workplace Diversity Framework. The purpose of this Framework is to
provide an overarching philosophy and structure for the management of Diversity, to support the existing
initiatives and enable a focused effort going forward. The Framework also includes recommended initiatives
to further enhance diversity, incorporates existing policies and practices, employee feedback, competitor
practice and corporate objectives.
IT Infrastructure Projects
This year we changed our major information and communications technology partner to TPG. TPG were
chosen after an extensive search where they demonstrated the ability to deliver a reliable, high quality service
that provides value for money.
The IT team managed the migration of 18 major links across metropolitan, regional and rural NSW. After
months of planning and testing the links were transferred with minimal disruption to client service delivery
and staff.
These new links are on average, nine times faster than our previous network and 26% cheaper. These savings
allow Interrelate to focus on client service delivery and provide the opportunity to explore new technologies
that will enhance service delivery and create operational efficiencies in the future.
