    Shareholders got $41m in divies last year ...staff got paid a miserable $41m (including Jeff’s $3m) for ‘investing’ their time and skills in Heartland

    Maybe more than a few ‘thank you’ are warranted.

    Bloody lucky to be working for a successful employer I reckon!

    (If staff want to share in the wealth they are free to buy shares like the rest of us)

    And I cant let this go by. Time is the employers - to be filled with the employee putting their skills to good use. Skills and knowledge are essentially a commodity. Those who hold them get to sell them to a willing employer. As Percy has pointed out 107 of these get more than $100k. So not a bad "return on investment" for those with the skills.

    Heres what one employee said back in 2015 "Fun work place with supportive colleagues and management. Not rushed to provide results, rather encouraged to be accurate and efficient. Awesome culture and team. Pros Laid-back yet hardworking atmosphere, celebratory morning teas"

    Celebratory morning teas!!!

    Excellent: "The report also found only 40 per cent of businesses had a gender policy in place, with just 26 per cent of them measure performance or progress." Shouldn't be wasting there time.

    I hope HBL have a "Employ the best person for the job" policy before they have a "diversity policy. Oh well - I guess its jobs for policy wonks - I bet they are women.

    Edit: I would add Deloittes are responsible for their "Top Emerging Companies" report - in which they list PEB. That's gives you an indication of their analytical abilities

    My thoughts too MM, not just for HBL but for any company with a diversity policy

    Still need to do away with this self-replicating masculine Anglo-Saxon management style that has outlived its usefullness in today’s highly complex, global and multi-cultural business world

    Gender bias remains a problem, to the detriment of company performance

    I would hazard a guess that Heartland with 3 out of 12 of its senior management team as females (including the notional head of people) has a fair degree of gender bias when appointing new managers ....and probably many talented women (best person for job) being overlooked (many studies show this as prevalent in most organisations)

    Good on Heartland for trying hard .....will lead to higher dividends
