People and culture

To achieve success, any organisation needs great people. That’s why we base our recruitment around merit, local knowledge and cultural fit. We’re always on the look-out for smart people who are aligned with our values and long-term thinking. Once on board, we incentivise our team to think strategically, work collaboratively and undertake programmes to improve their well-being.

We also think beyond the needs of just our internal team and actively support our customers and suppliers, too. We have aligned commitments to their workforces and have a plan to expand our business ethics programme to look at the human rights and social equity aspects of our global supply chains.

Importantly, we have a safety target of zero workforce fatalities. We believe the best way to achieve this is through strict workplace safety standards and making safety a responsibility for everyone.

People and culture

We are what we value

Goodman values are central to how we foster the right culture. They are a guide to how we think and act. Our values help us provide the same level of quality across all aspects of our business and they equip our teams to perform in our stakeholders’ best interests.

We are what we value
  • customer+focus
    Be closer to our customers’ world and their changing needs.
  • innovative+dynamic
    Be more creative in our thinking and dynamic in our actions.
  • open+fair
    Be adaptable and considerate in our dealings inside and outside our business.
  • performance+drive
    Do what we say we’ll do and make things happen.
  • team+respect
    Recognise the worth in each other and collaborate for better results.

Over the last four years, Goodman has run an internal programme designed to instil the importance of our values in our global team. We want Goodman people in all markets to not only live our values, but to understand their role in achieving long-term success.

We’ve scrutinised our work culture and professional behaviour and continue to strive for strong ethics and corporate governance. We encourage a disciplined approach and expect management to lead by example by being transparent and modest in all their dealings.
