Brida Pty Ltd - Testimonial 

Brida Pty Ltd is very proud to be awarded the Human Resource Management Excellence Award, which is recognition of our continuous efforts to invest in our people and the people of Roebourne. Believing that 'our people are our purpose, we are committed to implementing key human resource initiatives that support local people into employment, develop personal and professional growth, cultivate leadership at all levels and deliver long term career opportunities.

One of our key priorities is to increase support for local Aboriginal people to become work ready and secure employment with us. This Award is a great opportunity to invest the prize money in the innovative and successful Yirramagardu Crew initiative which focuses on engaging the disengaged in Roebourne, enabling them to 'work for dignity' rather than 'work for the dole'. Under guidance of the Elders, participants undertake transitional paid employment activities primarily aimed at supporting sick and elderly in the town. Work experience provided with Brida and skills gained support the participants' progression to employment with Brida.

This initiative has set the highest standards of Aboriginal community engagement, achieving solid outcomes for the people of Roebourne in terms of increased pride, dignity, hope and employability.
