As an engineering leadership team we place great value in the ideas and expertise of our engineering team, hosting fortnightly Ask Me Anything sessions which provides anyone with the opportunity to ask any questions they have but to also have wider discussions around our strategic direction and work road map. From the feedback from these sessions we’ve implemented some great initiatives in FY25 including improving our developer experience across tribes where we now measure in the 75th percentile compared to the industry; refining roles and responsibilities and introducing new roles such as the Staff Engineer; defining a strategy around transforming our software development lifecycle through AI augmentation; getting approval for our office refurbishment based on feedback from employees. We live our values in Engineering, to be ‘client centric’, act as ‘one team’ and to be ‘impactful’, as such, alongside the rest of the business, we have updated our hybrid working policy from one day per week to two as we believe this will encourage greater collaboration and foster greater innovation. In the same vain we have adopted a 'camera on first' approach for our virtual meetings to support clearer communication and enhance social connection. However, like in all areas of our business, if someone requires accommodations to any of our workplace approaches in order for them to thrive at work we encourage them to speak to their Manager or our HR team.
