Our Policies

Policies for recruiting employees

At QIC, the recruitment and selection of individuals to join our organisation is a vital and core activity to our overall success.  We believe selecting the best talent contributes directly to ensuring our business outcomes are achieved each year.  QIC’s recruitment and selection principles and processes for attracting and evaluating an individual’s suitability to a role are designed to ensure legal and diversity obligations are met, in addition to corporate values and strategic objectives.

As an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer, our recruitment and selection practices ensure individuals are selected, promoted and treated equitably on the basis of talent and capabilities.  We believe all individuals seeking to join QIC are entitled to a fair process of obtaining employment and promotion.  Such decisions are based on an individual’s ability to successfully achieve outcomes required of the role and contribute to the overall success of QIC.

In addition, an assessment of genuine business need for the role; cultural fit (both organisational and team); career development; and use of valid recruitment and selection tools, techniques and resources are also utilised by QIC.

Policy on the environment

QIC’s objective is to understand the environmental impacts of our business operations more fully and by so doing, to maximise the effectiveness of our environmental performance.

Corporately, we are committed to developing plans and processes to reduce the impact of our environmental footprint and to offset environmental impacts that are not possible to avoid. We are committed to meeting our environmental regulatory and reporting obligations, both in federal and state jurisdictions. We educate and motivate our employees to be environmentally responsible in their actions and we work with our stakeholders and service providers to find practical and innovative ways to deliver our joint business and environmental objectives.

Environmental management is everyone’s responsibility – including our employees, our management, our Board and shareholders, and our clients. QIC’s culture encourages environmental awareness and the adoption of emerging best practice consistent with our fiduciary and commercial obligations.
