Health & Wellness
Our dedicated HSE team creates a yearly health and wellness plan, dedicated to helping our people understand and manage all aspects of their health, including mental, financial and physical. We have a number of benefits dedicated to supporting our people's wellbeing.
Employee Assistance Program
WSP Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides short term free counselling and holistic support for all employees and immediate family members. Our EAP is provided by Assure who are one of Australia’s leading mental health organisations for over 30 years. Assure’s holistic model of counselling, wellbeing coaching and evidence-based development programs assist individuals, teams and organisations across the entire mental wellbeing spectrum.
Work | Life Links
As part of our commitment to the diverse needs of our people, we have partnered with Work | Life Links to help our people better balance work and personal life. Work | Life Links is an external, confidential information and resource service that helps you find out everything you need to know about any type of dependent care, health and lifestyle service.
Fitness Initiatives
Our offices around Australia host various sporting and exercise initiatives, organised by our regional social clubs and building managers. WSP employees, contractors and immediate family members can also access a corporate discount for Goodlife Health Clubs across Australia.
Corporate Health Insurance with BUPA
WSP employees in Australia are entitled to join the WSP Corporate Bupa plan. Benefits include 6% discount on health insurance plus services, online support, health management, and more!
Flexible Work
We believe that flexible work can support a more diverse workforce, and help our people to operate at their best.
Flexible Working hours
Our flexible working hours arrangement enables you to juggle your work duties with your personal commitments. Full-time employees have the benefit of variable start and finish times while still completing the 37.5 hour work week requirement. Our core business hours are 10 am to 3pm where you are required to be present. Part-time career options allow you to retain entitlements associated with permanent employment, such as sick leave and annual leave. Commence part-time work after parental leave or to care for children or elderly, allowing you to enjoy more time with your family whilst balancing work commitments.
Hybrid and Remote Work
Our flexible approach to work means that our people can arrange to work in a way that suits them, provided they are able to meet their role responsibilities and that it does not adversely affect others in your team.
Self Funded Additional Leave
The self-funded additional annual leave initiative allows you to purchase up to 4 weeks additional annual leave every year. The additional leave is salary sacrificed. Purchasing extra leave is a great way to spend more time on recreational activities, with your children on school holidays or at other times of need.
Parental Leave
We appreciate that family is important, and to assist our employees to start or grow their families, we offer additional parental leave payments. WSP has committed to go above and beyond the federal legislation and provide permanent employees, who are primary carers, with up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave and up to 12 months of superannuation payments. Partners can take up to 3 weeks of paid partner leave at the time of their child’s birth.
Awards & Recognition
Your success will be recognised through our Applaud Employee Award Program, which allows colleagues to nominate their peers for their outstanding work, and for representing our core values. Applaud winners receive points which can be redeemed for gift cards, donations, or experiences.
Culture & Lifestyle
We are committed to fostering a collaborative, supportive, and diverse work culture where everyone is empowered to bring their whole self to work. There are many different ways to get involved and contribute to a thriving workplace while getting to know your colleagues. We also offer lifestyle benefits such as novated leasing, and corporate rates on hotels and car hire.
Social Club
Our social clubs in offices around Australia organise events such as Friday drinks, live shows and movie nights, and other after hours events.
Diversity & Inclusion
Our committees for Diversity & Inclusion are dedicated to supporting diversity and inclusion in the workplace through events, communications and initiatives throughout our regions. This includes our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), VIBE, and Gender Diversity committees.
Workplace Banking
WSP has teamed up with Westpac to bring you Workplace Banking. Take advantage of selected discounts available on rewards credit cards, everyday bank accounts and much more. In addition, you now also have access to financial education through the Davidson Institute, as well as Ruby, an interactive online community promoting and connecting Australian women.
Novated Leasing
The salary packaging of novated car leases is available for all Australian permanent employees who have completed their probationary period with WSP, subject to normal approvals.
Corporate Car rentals
Avis and Thrifty vehicle hire corporate rates are available to WSP employees for personal use. Hotels on our preferred accommodation listing are also available to our employees for personal use.
Learning & Development
We are committed to the development of our people, and have a number of initiatives to help you learn and grow at every stage of your career.
Career Planning Resources
Our Thrive and Career Zone portals are designed to help you plan your career progression, identify the steps that you need to take, and set goals with the help of your manager to continue to build your career and skills.
Courses and Training
We have technical and professional development courses available for those who wish to take time and grow their skills.
Tertiary Assistance Program
Each year WSP invests significantly through our tertiary studies program to support the continuing professional development of our people. WSP employees may receive financial support for course fees, time off for study and exams, or support for research and innovation as part of their continuing tertiary studies. Whether it is directly related to your current professional practice or developing skills in a new technical area, participating in our tertiary studies program may be just the additional support you need to get a head start.
