(1) Between 1 January 2016 and 1 June 2016,34 employees ceased work at
Ausgrid in the Newcastle⁄Hunter area.
(2) Ausgrid has developed a workforce plan that aligns its staff numbers to
the safe, reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to its customers. That
plan helps guide the size and shape of the workforce to ensure the right mix of
skills and people to match future work programs.
These job reductions occurred as a result of this workforce planning
process. Ausgrid has carried out risk assessments for these changes to ensure
there is no impact on safety.
The focus is on making the reductions through voluntary redundancy and
offering staff support to transition to new roles, via a Mix and Match
Program.
These changes will help Ausgrid build an efficient and competitive business
that is safe, reliable and sustainable for the future.
