Rebecca Houghton, Head of Recruitment at Australia presented this case study at #ATC2014. This case study reviews the Post People 1st strategy which was designed to take its internal mobility to new heights. By integrating Mobility with Recruitment, Transition, Training and Assessment Australia Post has created a platform to create real value in the engagement, reputation and commercial stakes. For organisations who want to optimise talent, drive up engagement and retention, or build a reputation as an employer of choice, this is the ultimate case study.
