Supporting the University goals

The role of SydneyPeople is to provide reliable, efficient HR services which help the University achieve 1:5:40 by:

Aligning practices and execution to 1:5:40 and academic goals

We align individuals’ performance to ensure they contribute to the goals and aspirations of the University.

Recruiting for best fit

We help the University search for top talent with established reputations, as well as identifying those with the potential to grow and develop with us. But above all, we look for people who share our ethos and aspirations and who are keen to contribute to the achievement of our 1:5:40 vision.

Valuing inspirational leaders

We enable the University to identify and promote leaders who clearly articulate and demonstrate their vision while possessing the leadership skills to bring staff along with them and to harness available resources to achieve the desired results.

Building a community of high performers

We drive a culture that nurtures personal drive and motivation to succeed and enables managers to provide tangible rewards.

Developing and growing talent

We encourage our leaders to spot and mentor high potential staff during their early career and to groom them to be our next generation of leaders and world-class academics.

Promoting accountability

Supervisors and staff are accountable for setting and achieving performance goals. Each one of us is responsible for results and career development

Engaging staff

We continue to provide timely, meaningful and relevant information to staff and, in turn, seek and act on feedback to encourage two-way communication and staff involvement.

Enabling workplace productivity and flexibility

We help to improve workplace productivity and flexibility and ensure the University complies with its legal obligations.
