innovative performance management system that gathers real-time feedback on employee sentiment to enhance staff engagement further. “With our business spread across 1,100 kilometers, it can be challenging to stay in touch with everyone,” Hart notes. “This system will allow us to identify areas for improvement and ensure our workplace culture remains strong, no matter where our staff are located.” Recognizing the challenges of seasonal employment, Kimberley Accommodation Group also invests in employee development through ongoing training programs and career advancement opportunities. “We want our employees to feel valued and see a future with us,” Hart says.“That’s why we encourage skill development and even sponsor some of our visa-holding staff for permanent residency.” SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY Kimberley Accommodation Group prioritizes environmental responsibility, implementing various sustainable initiatives across its properties. “We’ve retrofitted our venues with water-wise tap, shower, and toilet fittings, installed LED lighting, and implemented large-scale solar systems,” Hart explains. “At our largest locations- Kimberley Hotel, and Hotel Kununurra—we’ve also installed cardboard compactors to reduce waste.” The company further minimizes its environmental footprint by using eco-friendly cleaning products, recycling waste cooking oil, and repurposing spent grain from its brewery for camel feed. Additionally, Kimberley Accommodation Group actively participates in the Containers for Change recycling program and donates used hotel furniture and linens to local charities and communities. SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES Kimberley Accommodation is deeply integrated into the communities it serves. “We sponsor local sporting teams, support live music, and provide function spaces free of charge for community events,” Hart says. In remote areas like Halls Creek, where the company operates the only pub in town, these initiatives help foster a strong sense of community. 95 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 03 KIMBERLEY ACCOMMODATION GROUP
