Culture at KINNECT
Our company culture is paramount and at the heart of everything we strive to achieve. We are a diverse team of bold, curious and compassionate people that care deeply about each other and the people we help.
We are enthusiastic about what we do. This enthusiasm and our culture help us attract and retain top like-minded talent. Our employees thrive in an environment based on challenges, teamwork and a desire to help people. The proof? Our industry-leading workplace culture led us to a Great Place to Work award in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
Culture is everything
As an organisation that has grown rapidly, lots of people ask us how we’ve maintained our unique and high performing culture.
Firstly, values and culture are inextricably linked. So, to sustain a great workplace culture, we only recruit people who are on board with and live our Core Values:
Highly Skilled, Happy People, Creating Sustainable Value with No Surprises.
Secondly, we measure culture simply and regularly. Since 2013, we survey all employees each month to find out how they feel about working at KINNECT. Our leaders’ review and respond to every single comment, and, because transparency and openness are so important to us, this is shared with the whole organisation.
And thirdly, it’s about involvement. We believe everyone has a role to play in building and sustaining our workplace culture, no matter your role or where you work. But a few people play a special role. Our Kulture Captain and Kulture Representatives engage with their teams and locations across the business to ensure KINNECTers voices are heard, to address any concerns and to share ideas between their teams. These representatives also champion the fun stuff – organising all our local and national social gatherings, charity and cause-related events held throughout the year.

What Culture Looks Like Here
Around 30 November each year (KINNECT’s Birthday), KINNECTers from around Australia and offshore take time out to let their hair down and celebrate their tremendous efforts over the last twelve months. We call it K Day.
From sophisticated cocktails and paint and sip evenings to competitive rounds of mini golf, escape room puzzles and cruising the Sydney Harbour, our teams indulge in fun, frivolity and, of course, food!
