People at Our Heart

Celebrating Our People and Their Achievements

“Our people and communities are at the heart of the Bankstown Sports Group and over the past 12 months there has been no shortage of challenges for them. It is with great pride that we have been able to celebrate the great resilience and dedication of our people, to bounce back and bring joy and exceptional experiences back to our community and visitors.

Our brave team members were at the frontline of our Vaccination Hub during lockdown, helping deliver such a vital service during an extremely challenging time for our community. Flash forward and October’s re-opening brought with it renewed vigour and enthusiasm, followed closely by the complexity of operating our venues during the Omicron wave and record-case numbers, affecting not just our community but our team.

In a short time, we have had the privilege of hosting some of our highest achievers at our first Golden Ticket Dinner since re-opening and plan to continue hosting these events in the future. We have also had the opportunity to launch our Health and Wellbeing Program aimed at the Physical, Psychological and Holistic wellbeing of our People. We are excited about the initiatives that will be delivered through this program to continue building a well-rounded workplace for our people.’’ David Watt, Manager of People and Culture.

“Without the support of Bankstown Sports Club, we would not be able to provide this opportunity to our nurses and midwives, because of the support our staff are able to progress and develop themselves both educationally and professionally. I am so grateful for the generous efforts from the Club”

Linda Campbell - Director of Nursing and Midwifery Services

“Over 1,200 hours of student work placement across the period since re-opening”

The Future Leaders of Bankstown Sports

Having delivered over 1,200 hours of team member training since our re-opening, we have been dedicated to providing our people with the necessary support and tools to be successful in their roles. This year, we have directed particular attention towards further empowering our leaders throughout all our venues, along with the kick off of our Leadership Masterclass program. Team Members in Leadership roles, as well as future leaders of our business have been attending various workshops with their peers to explore their own leadership styles and how they can optimise the experiences of their teams. As an employer, Bankstown Sports Group hopes to provide our team members with purpose, opportunity, appreciation, and success; as well as taking the time to focus on their wellbeing. We will continue to develop and implement initiatives to deliver an exceptional employee experience such as our mentoring program which connects our team members with our leaders in a new and specific setting.
