Building Futures, Nurturing Success
Within the first week working at Coffey Testing, all new staff members will participate in our Training Academy at our head office, located in Newcastle.
This program will provide them with the knowledge that they need to know about the company, such as:
- Code of Conduct & Values
- IT Systems
- Booking Travel & Accommodation
- Social Media, Marketing & Laboratory Events
- Payroll, Timesheets & Expenses
- Vehicle Policies, PPE & Uniforms
- Safety & Wellbeing
- Quality & Laboratory KPIS, and
- Performance Plans & Reviews.
Within a staff member’s first week of working within the laboratory, they will be assisted by someone on the team, to show them around. This allows staff members to:
- Learn and ins and outs of the laboratory and understand what is required of them in their day-to-day,
- Understand that teamwork is a large component of what we do,
- Gain further knowledge and experience within the construction materials testing industry, and
- Know that from the very first minute they set foot into the laboratory, that they aren’t alone, and that it is a safe space to ask any questions if they need.
At Coffey Testing, we have an annual goal setting session with staff and their manager, and this is where individual goals can be outlined.
We also facilitate 3- and 5-month performance reviews, with staff and their Laboratory Managers as well, and these sessions are utilised to check staff members’ professional progress, as well as how they are settling in, and a reflection of their wellbeing.
At the beginning of each week, every Coffey Testing Laboratory will facilitate a Weekly Toolbox. This allows the teams to come together to discuss any key points of reminders for the week ahead, providing transparency and honesty between the senior members and their teams.
This also allows a chance for team members to speak up on any topics as they arise, or alternatively, schedule some time with their manager afterwards to ask more questions about what their week is looking like and what is expected of them.
