Benefits - Learning and Development

"Four years ago I joined the ARC with a clear goal in mind. Moving from a project leader role to Group Manager with 7 direct reports, I believe my professional aspirations are well on track. ARC is truly an organisation where you can grow your career."

At Auckland Regional Council we believe that our success as an organisation is dependent on having the right people with the right skills in place.

Our staff are encouraged to develop skills for current and future roles, keeping them challenged, motivated and marketable.

Internal Career Development

Internal advertising at ARC encourages career advancement and we frequently use secondments and projects to develop our staff. The breadth of our operation ensures that we can offer diverse career opportunities.

Study Support

Eligible employees can apply for study assistance, which may take the form of Study leave and/or contributions towards course fees.

Performance Management and Career Development

We have a performance management system that is linked to remuneration, ensuring that high performance is encouraged and rewarded. Following this, staff create an Individual Development Plan based on competencies required for their current role, or roles that they aspire to in the future. This provides a roadmap for employee development.
