Ready to Be the Difference?

Be the Difference represents the Optimum commitment to culture. It’s the Employee Value Proposition that drives decision making from recruit to retire. We partner with the team to design those strategies and bring them to life in the employee experience, shaping a transformational culture.

We’re still hard at work and it’s too early to share too much, but too exciting to share nothing. So, let’s start with the highlights…

Embedding Be the Difference

This is the story of taking employee experience design to implementation. Optimum is a Great Place to Work certified workplace, and we’ve focused on embedding an EX strategy that enables people to bring their best to work each day. A strategy that enables people to Be the Difference.

Optimum is a true recruit to retire experience transformation, from embedding Be the Difference in employer brand to recognising their Difference Makers and inspiring their Optimum Leaders.

An innovative leadership development program designed to inspire the next generation of Optimum leaders. It’s disarmingly simple and focused on outcome-orientated leadership to deliver three guiding principles: DO WHAT’S RIGHT, DRIVE ONE OPTIMUM, MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Optimum Leader is a sustainable but dynamic infrastructure for leadership development, scalable across front line leaders to VP+. It’s already making a BIG impact. We can’t wait to share more…

Reimagining recognition

Expectations of recognition are changing. We’re broadening out the big annual moments to building a culture of everyday recognition. We’re shaping an Optimum recognition experience that reinforces the behavioural principles that drive their success and enable people to do their best work. We have the opportunity to ensure all Difference Makers are appreciated and, recognised for their value and impact.

We’ve partnered on an overall strategy and creative approach to bring consistency and coherency to the recognition experience and introduced new ways to spotlight the incredible work happening across teams.
