Our people

Why our people is a material topic for ERM:

Our ability to attract, develop, reward and retain talented employees is central to our business strategy and vital to our future. We want to hire passionate people and ensure that we nurture and support their development and success.

 

In FY19, ERM hired more than 1,000 permanent and 600 temporary employees, the most ever for our company. The majority of the new hires were entry level supporting our approach in developing talent and offering rewarding careers. This growth has had a notable impact on our company, from training and providing workspace, computers and field equipment, to integrating new employees into the workplace. It has also enabled our more experienced staff members to delegate work, advance their own careers and provide additional value-added services to ERM’s clients.
