What a career at Baringa will give you

Putting People First

• We give you every opportunity to progress by having four promotional reviews a year. No one develops at the same pace. That\'s why we have quarterly rather than annual promotion reviews. We don\'t have any quotas: if you\'re ready and delivering at the right level, you\'ll get that promotion.
• We\'re proud to put people first with wellbeing at the forefront of our culture, one example of this is that every employee receives $555 a year to put towards their wellbeing!
• We provide our employees with 5 weeks of annual leave, fully available at the start of each year.
• All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company\'s success.
• We recognise the importance of work-life balance and flexible working and have a 3-4-5 policy. You\'ll likely travel to be on-site with your clients. Our policy guarantees you\'ll spend no more than 3 nights away from home, 4 days on-site with a client, with the 5th day working from home or back at Baringa HQ. We know that the \'ideal\' balance will vary from person to person and change at different stages of our working lives for that reason we have implemented a hybrid working policy.
• Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 days every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.
• We recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break - As such we have introduced the \'Re-charge\' benefit meaning Baringa will offer all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.
