Starting with the guidance given by our Board that ‘Daddy is a Gardener, Mummy is a Cleaner’, Brida embraces the fact that our people work hard because they have responsibilities outside work – to themselves, to their families, their culture and beyond. This foundation of operation ignites a capacity for personal goal setting and enables respect from multiple sources. Brida encourages a ‘starting right here’ approach to personal governance, self-assessment and benchmarking progression over time.

Brida’s Aboriginal Engagement Strategy centres on NBAC’s Ways2Work strategy. Ways2Work includes the Yirramagardu Crew, Red Dirt Driving Academy, and Ways2Work Labour Hire, providing a fresh approach to engaging local Aboriginal people and resolving their ‘right now’ needs.

This pragmatic and individualised approach to our community may be as simple as connecting a young person with a work opportunity, or other support such as developing skills, knowledge, certificates and confidence to approach the employment market on their own terms.

Driven by local knowledge, Brida’s outstanding local engagement is achieved by providing local people with;

• Life skills
• Cultural guidance
• Health and well-being advice
• Personal budgeting support
• Self-governance tools
• Goal setting
• Guidance to make lifestyle choices
• Support to attain required skills and disciplines
• Promotion of solid work ethics and sharing knowledge about workplace structures and onsite responsibilities.

Brida’s team members are stable and happy, resulting in a staff turnover rate less than 3%. With a strong focus on supporting our staff in their personal development, we believe local people will carry our legacy into the future. Our employees are the leaders of today – tomorrow and beyond.
