ANNUAL REPORT 2018 KU 20 18 For the third year running, KU was again named an Employer of Choice in the Australian Business Awards. Coupled with an Employee Net Promoter Score of +40 and a sustained staff retention rate in excess of 90%, this recognition is an acknowledgement of the work we do to attract, support, grow and retain the best early childhood teachers and educators. The impact of this investment on quality outcomes for children and families is evident by more than a dozen nominations and awards received by KU staff and centres for prestigious professional awards throughout the year. Additionally, these public accolades help raise the profile of our valuable early childhood teachers and continue to promote the status and standing of the early childhood profession. To assist us in planning for the future, KU commissioned two major internal research projects that will examine the longer-term impact of family centred practice and their leadership for the 21 st century. 4
