FDC is, at heart, a family business.   Through its leadership, FDC demonstrate solid family values in business and people management.

The surest way to slow productivity at FDC is to bring your newborn in for a visit (which is a condition of employment - almost).  We encourage family members to drop into the office for a cuppa or a late afternoon glass of wine and kids are welcome for a school holiday visit.   We celebrate engagements, marriages, births and personal milestones as a means of ensuring that family is always front of mind.

 

We host family events to ensure our staff can mingle with one another's families and build a sense of comfort, confidence and understanding of what goes on in a typical work day.    Every other Christmas, FDC holds a major event dedicated to our kids, where a carnival atmosphere is created and Santa arrives with gifts and good wishes on his trusty FDC ute.  These events are amongst our favourites, as the sight and sound of happy children is hard to beat.

FDC is wonderfully multi-cultural, with an amazing mix of cultural backgrounds, family histories and beliefs.  We value this diversity, for it broadens all of our horizons.

A monthly internal newsletter is produced so family members can tune into the key issues and achievements of the business. 

We have a Work-Life Balance committee who meet monthly to discuss ideas of how to work smarter (not harder) and to consider events and activities to bring our team and families closer together.
