Our People & Culture Business Partners operate in a stand-alone autonomous position but collaborate as part of the broader People & Culture Directorate to build employee engagement, drive continuous improvements and organisational effectiveness, whilst providing value-add commercial advice. Providing subject matter expertise, insights and guidance, the People & Culture Business Partners are active members of their respective Leadership Teams with whom they work on a day-to-day basis.
