Personal Benefits

Staff surveys show a high level of overall satisfaction with the Gordon as an employer - and it's no wonder really when you consider the benefits of working at The Gordon!

See how we value a healthy work / life balance in The Benefits, The Gordon booklet.

Company Values 

As a values based organisation we demonstrate our values through our behaviours.  We have identified and adopted a set of trademark behaviours which provides a framework for us to model, reward and challenge behaviour across the organisation.  These behaviours are:

• Take responsibility
• Always positive
• Show respect
• Step up and take a risk  

Underpinning our trademark behaviours is the Gordon Code of Conduct.  This is a public statement defining how we behave and interact with clients and colleagues.

Many of the training programs offered to staff through our professional development calendar provide personal benefits for participants. Time management, communication skills and achieving work/life balance are just some of the activities available.
