// Message from the Captain in Charge
The primary focus of the People and Culture Crew Strategy and its Operational Plan is to ensure that Plan2go achieves its vision and goals through its most valuable resource, our people. It is only through the knowledge, skills, motivation and abilities of our people at an operational level that our strategic plan is achieved.
The People and Culture Crew Strategy highlights Plan2go’s priorities for the coming three years, they are strengthening Plan2go’s leadership capability and management skills, work/life balance initiatives, attraction and retention, customer service, work health and safety, equity and diversity which are all focusing on our ultimate goal of achieving a ‘great place to work’ and maintaining an ‘employer of choice’ status.
The People and Culture Crew Strategy and its Operational Plan address these priorities and other issues that may affect Plan2go in the longer term to deliver its service in a competitive environment, such as innovation and sustainability.
Our vision is to create a workplace that will attract, retain and develop a highly skilled, innovative and committed workforce that seeks to continuously improve the quality of our services to our clients; a workplace that embraces a participative and respectful culture based on teamwork; a workplace that supports our corporate goals.
Ellen Foster Captain in Charge

1.4 People and Culture Crew Strategy
In determining the People and Culture Crew Strategy for Plan2go a number of factors were taken into consideration in addition to identifying the strategic goals. These included conducting a workforce planning analysis, determining the budget allocation and reviewing the size of the People and Culture Crew.
The workforce planning analysis focused on the following areas:
• data on staff turnover rates and comparison to industry average
• data on staff demographics – age, gender, ethnicity, education levels, length of service
• factors that may affect workforce supply such as the state of the economy, strength and numbers of competitors, the unemployment rate, the attractiveness of the organisation as a place to work
• the need for a skilled and diverse workforce
• analysis of the current workforce – specifically, job analysis, job design, workforce profile, skills inventory, competency profiling.
HR budget allocation is based on:
• the organisational trend average of $1850 per employee
• cost of HR staff based on organisational trend of $95, 000 per HR employee.
The size of the People and Culture Crew:
• is larger than the HR metric of 1:66 but does take into consideration the range of responsibilities that the staff of the People and Culture Crew have and the future expansion plans of Plan2go.
