Our Values
We believe in sustainable work practises and provide our employees with a safe, rewarding and flexible work environment to maximise benefits while minimising the social, economic and environmental costs of our operations.
Caring about the Community
At the HB Group, we care about the business community, local community and our staff. We work hard to deliver a service that is in the best interests and to the highest of standards for our clients, candidates, colleagues and the community. As a company we are continually looking for opportunities that make a genuine difference to the people of Toowoomba so that our impact is a positive one.
Caring for the Environment
The HB Group is committed to environmentally sustainable business practices to ensure our impact on the environment is minimised. Examples include utilising the services of cleaners who use sustainable, biodegradable cleaning products; recycling paper, ink and toner cartridges and mobile phones; All HB vehicles run on ethanol fuel and where possible, staff walk to work.
HB Group has initiated the GreenBiz check to assist us to reduce our carbon footprint which will mitigate climate change and has purchased Timesheets online to reduce paper as one of our initiatives to meet the objectives. Electronic communication is used whenever possible, and documents are scanned for future reference rather than paper-based copies held.
Our lighting system is c-bus and sensor monitored meaning lights turn off when you leave the room. All lights have been switched from incandescent light bulbs to energy-saving LED bulbs. When we leave the building, there is just one main switch to be turned off which cuts off all the power, except for fridges. Water tanks have been installed to capture rainwater and outdated Information Technology is donated to charity.
Business Advocacy
We are involved in many business advocacy programs and groups and have been recognised through awards and other acknowledgments for the work we do. HB has a strong social responsibility and understands that giving back is important, especially to the less fortunate. This focus has enabled HB to attract top talent, raise productivity and maintain high employee engagement.
