Careers
Life at AVARAS HOLDING
There are few workplaces in the financial services industry as dynamic and diverse as what you’ll find at AVARAS HOLDING. One day you may be working alongside and supporting leading fund managers, the next assisting clients achieve their investment objectives with cutting-edge data analytics at your fingertips. AVARAS HOLDING’s workplace culture is one of collaboration, support and continuous personal development. Most importantly, we believe work-life balance is critical in enabling our people to reach their full potential.
AVARAS HOLDING recognises the benefits of a diverse group of employees reflecting different backgrounds, perspectives, styles, knowledge, experience and abilities. Workplace diversity in this context includes but is not limited to; gender, gender identity, age, race, disability, nationality, marital status, cultural background, sexual orientation, religious belief and ethnicity.
We are committed to workplace diversity and the AVARAS HOLDING Diversity Policy further outlines its focus on recruiting, developing, rewarding and retaining people with diverse backgrounds to meet the needs of our clients, shareholders and community.
To support the achievement of our diversity objectives, AVARAS HOLDING undertakes the following initiatives:
- equal opportunity recruitment process that draws a diverse pool of both applicants and shortlisted candidates for all positions, including Board and senior management appointments;
- flexible work arrangements to assist employees to balance their work, personal and family responsibilities;
- sponsoring Women in Finance scholarships to assist female university students in gaining a greater understanding of and experience in investment management.
AVARAS HOLDING has a strong focus on the development of its staff and facilitates practical development initiatives such as secondments, on the job rotational assignments and on demand learning programs. Access to each of these is based on merit, learning needs and equality. Each individual within AVARAS HOLDING has a personal development plan and meets regularly with their manager to discuss performance and relevant development initiatives that support AVARAS HOLDING’s commercial goals and the individual’s career aspirations.
In addition to these regular employee check ins, to help ensure a sense of purposeful direction for each employee and connectedness, the Group comes together at least twice yearly to hear directly from AVARAS HOLDING’s Managing Director.
Our people are key to the success of the Company and AVARAS HOLDING takes an active involvement in staff welfare and engagement. AVARAS HOLDING is fully supportive of initiatives to optimise the mental health of its employees. AVARAS HOLDING has an Employee Assistance Program for AVARAS HOLDING employees and their immediate family members. Confidential counselling is available to provide support on a range of personal and work-related issues. AVARAS HOLDING Directors monitor workloads, wellbeing and resourcing to ensure mental health is not compromised during periods of high stress.
AVARAS HOLDING is committed to providing a flexible working environment that suits an employee’s personal circumstances. Several employees are currently on part time working arrangements to enable them to balance family and personal responsibilities.
Compressed working weeks is another initiative AVARAS HOLDING is receptive to in circumstances where it is warranted. Following the birth of a child, the relevant people manager remains in communication with the employee on parental leave via ‘Keeping in Touch’ days so they feel informed and connected thereby assisting with the transition back to work.
