Focus GAMING CAREERS
INDUSTRY AND HAS THIS IMAGE CHANGED FROM AN EMPLOYER PERSPECTIVE - ARE YOU ABLE TO ATTRACT THE BEST CANDIDATES 'DESPITE' BEING INVOLVED IN THE GAMING INDUSTRY?
Helping people new to the industry understand the governance within which we operate and the high standard of ethics required to hold a gaming licence provides a level of comfort about the integrity and professionalism of both our business and the industry.
Many of the “perceptions” or more accurately misconceptions of the gaming industry are limited to certain global regions, where less favourable views are often derived from media coverage of the gaming industry from groups with an anti-gambling sentiment.
Interestingly the gaming sector is viewed quite favourably in many parts of the world such as Asia and America where it is seen as providing a genuine and fun form of entertainment as well as providing significant employment opportunities for thousands of people across a wide range of role types. While in India, gaming is not well known so they have no real understanding, good or bad, of what we do or who we are!
Most people are generally very interested to hear more about our business and the scope of the opportunity on offer and as we talk more about our business and the industry they can then form a view based on facts, rather than preconceptions.
Many companies in the gaming sector, including ours, are businesses with global scale and have roles with the complexity, challenge and excitement that top professionals are seeking.
We have been able to successfully attract talent to work for Aristocrat from some of the world’s most well-known and respected brands outside of gaming.
HOW DO YOU PROMOTE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE COMPANY?
As an organisation we are committed to improving the diversity of our workforce. We have open and transparent vacancy postings - all roles are open to any employee to apply for- and selection is based on broad range of factors including but not limited to competency, skills, experience, past performance.
This year we are looking at programs and policies that will provide opportunities for growth and development, allow flexibility and leverage diversity to improve organisational capability.
