People & Culture

AMA Group knows that our people set us apart and ensure that we provide world-class accident solutions. We constantly focus on individual strengths to bring the best out of people to enhance their skills, capabilities and careers in the automotive industry.

We strongly believe a culturally diverse and inclusive workplace promotes creativity, innovation, teamwork and collaboration which brings better outcomes for our business and customers.

AMA is committed to ‘Industry future-proofing’ by actively engaging in apprentice recruitment, implementing training and diversity strategies, and employee benefits, retention and completion programs.

Our culture is built on:

  • Respect for all
  • Clear & effective communication
  • Superior service & performance
  • Enriching lives through ongoing development

Growing Talent

We ‘grow our own’ through our apprenticeship and graduate programs. The apprentice program is focused on hiring one painter and one panel apprentice at each site across Australia and New Zealand. To date we have almost 300 apprentices in our program. We promote diversity, in particular attracting female and mature-aged apprentices.

TAFE and school partnerships are also a critical part of our resourcing strategy and educating communities on the opportunities that students may not have considered. Max Employment assist us to source job seekers that would be suitable for an array of positions we have in communities all over Australia. We currently have several employees with disabilities and employees who have ‘returned to work’ after long-term unemployment in our workplace.

Employee Benefits

When it comes to our people, we want to do more than just give them a job. AMA invests in their well-being and life outside their employment.

Our employees are offered a number of benefits including:

  • Discounted Home & Landlord Insurance
  • Discounted Health Insurance
  • A 24/7 free professional and confidential counselling service as part of our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for employees and their immediate family members
  • Generous bonuses if an employee refers someone to the AMA Group and that person completes their probation period as part of the company’s ‘Refer-a-Friend’ Program
  • Discounted Motor Insurance
  • Discounted Health Club memberships & programs
  • Discounted Travel Insurance
  • AMA Welfare Fund, including employee contributions with a seed fund on behalf of AMA of $50,000
  • AMA Education Programs

Community

As part of our People Excellence Program, we are proud to partner with various community and training organisations to both upskill and generate paid employment opportunities for the communities in which we operate.

AMA has a particular focus on ‘closing the gap’ in relation to the opportunities made available to various groups including young people, woman, Indigenous Australians, people with disabilities and those over the age of 45.

As an example, AMA Group has partnered with the North Queensland Cowboys community foundation in Townsville to provide Indigenous Australians from remote communities with an opportunity to gain employment through apprenticeships in a career in Spray Painting or Panel Beating.
