Achieving an Investor in People Standard publicly advertises WHK Greenwoods' commitment to its people.

An Investor in People Standard and a team focus that develops individuals while ensuring group goals are achieved position WHK Greenwoods as a great place to work.

"It's easy for a firm to say we value our people and they're our greatest asset, but we wanted someone external and independent to come into our business, talk to our people and determine if in reality that actually happens here," says Brett O'Meara CA, human resources manager at WHK Greenwoods, accountants and advisers.

This is how the firm, which employs 170 staff, including 14 principals and 11 associate principals, attained the Investors in People Standard. With strict set criteria and an annual audit, the Standard ensures success is achieved through real investment in staff which allows everyone in the firm to perform well. WHK Greenwoods is one of the first firms in Australia to undertake and achieve the Standard, which in itself is a remarkable achievement that allows it to publicly advertise its commitment to its people.

WHK Greenwoods is part of WHK Group Limited, an ASX listed company with 21 member firms in Australia and New Zealand and in excess of 2500 staff.
