AusNet doesnt use industry best practice in personnel management
Pros
The environment is "inclusive", good opportunities for growth
Cons
The way recruitment is conducted is far from best practice. Competency frameworks arent being well used, best practice interviewing methods not used. In a struggle to meet WGEA requirements, organisation is doing some less than savoury things in recruitment such as applying targets in recruitment shortlisting, including uncompetitive individuals in interviews/assessment centres. Management also unable to justify how promotions are based on performance, yet have gender quota, and do not have adequate competency frameworks and measurement in place. Unconscious bias "consultants" are hired to give workshops that are basically an opportunity for them to share personal agendas for their views on 'gender bias'
