Mentoring |

The urban water industry has a vast pool of workers who have been in the industry for decades and have a wealth of experience to offer to younger and new water industry employees. Informal mentoring often occurs internally within water service providers but there is also much value to be gained from more formal mentoring and mentoring between water service providers. | |

Recognition and rewards |
|
Key staff and great performing workers should be recognised and rewarded for their efforts. Recognition and rewards are often separate to the standard employment conditions used to attract and retain workers. A combination of formal and informal recognition can be used to ensure that staff are encouraged to continue perform at a high standard. Whilst there may be limited options for the provisions of monetary rewards, other rewards can include; professional development opportunities, promotions, industry award nominations, flexible working arrangements, special projects. |
