At ABC People & Culture, we are committed to career development: we look for potential and we invest in our people to be leaders in their fields. We believe in flexible approaches to working and in building diverse and collaborative teams.
ABC employees work in a demanding environment, with high levels of responsibility.

- Maintain the ABC Psychosocial Risk Register and framework and assist ABC Divisions to proactively identify, assess and manage psychosocial risks in the workplace.
- Develop and conduct targeted training across the ABC to support managers and workers to manage and respond to psychosocial risks.
