Education & Training

Olive Group 

 
 
Olive Group was established in 2006 as a result of our experience as a business in the oil and gas sector: safety was a priority for many organisations like ours but compliance and legislation were becoming an expensive headache. This mismatch led founder, Brendan Kavanagh, to create a new cost-effective health and safety model that offered a more flexible approach to training.

The concept proved successful and led to further thoughts on how could Olive bring even more cost-savings and improvements to training. What about online, mobile and virtual training? From this, Olive Learning was born. With our powerful, easy to use, integrated set of learning applications, businesses can induct, train, and develop staff by delivering learning experiences that are relevant, engaging and rewarding.
Today with offices in 9 countries, we are on a mission to train employees in a better, more cost-effective way, one business transformation after another.

Hotel Security Technology

ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions Australia 



 

 

At ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions we’re dedicated to reimagining how people move through their world – and as the world leader in hotel security technology innovation for 40 years, we secure millions of hotel rooms around the globe with our industry-leading brands, VingCard and Elsafe. With integrated software platforms, as well as Mobile Access, guestroom management systems and location solutions, we help our customers enhance the hotel guest experience while maximizing security and improving operational efficiency.

With the Mobile Access solution by ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, guests can skip the front desk, using their smartphone or watch as a secure key. This new solution maximizes operational efficiency, guest loyalty and convenience, as well as reducing costs and driving revenue.

VingCard Essence, the “invisible lock”, launched a growing trend for minimalism: now the new VingCard Allure lock takes the concept further. All external hardware has been removed through a signal panel offering exceptional flexibility in design, as well as the ability to add DND and MUR notifications.

Energy efficiency in hotels has become extremely important as HVAC costs account for as much as 45% of a building’s utility expenses. Since a typical hotel is vacant approximately 70% of a day, a considerable amount of energy is wasted on heating and cooling unoccupied rooms. By detecting occupancy and integrating with the properties HVAC system we can save energy, reduce HVAC runtimes, decrease maintenance costs, and increase mechanical equipment working life while improving user comfort and engagement. A guestroom management system can reduce energy consumption by 20%-45%.

ASSA ABLOY has been on the Forbes “World’s 100 Most Innovative Companies” list since 2014 and has worldwide service and support in more than 170 countries. With offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland & New Caledonia we are in a unique position to serve all hotels in the Oceania region.

HOSTPLUS 

Join Australia's Number One Performing Super Fund

 

Life is full of twists and turns. New jobs, new cities, new adventures. Wherever you or your staff go it’s important to have a super fund that moves with you. A fund that puts you first with competitive fees, comprehensive insurance options and consistent investment performance. 

Hostplus is the number 1 super fund in Australia. Number 1 in the long term. Number 1 in the short term. 

According to leading superannuation analysts, Chant West and SuperRatings, the Balanced Option returned an impressive 13.2% (after all fees and charges) to members accounts for the 2016-17 financial year. 

In addition, as of 30 June 2017 the default investment choice, favoured by the majority of the fund’s members has delivered a market leading performance over the last 1, 3, 5 and 7 years.

You won’t find returns like that under the mattress or in your bank account for that matter. 

At the time of the rate announcement Warren Chant, Director of Chant West said that the 2016-17 financial year had been an excellent year for super funds. He also commended Hostplus on its consistent historical performance. 

“While much of the focus this time of the year is on the financial year result, longer-term performance is far more important to Hostplus’ investment team. The fund’s investments team, led by Chief Investment Officer Sam Sicilia, has done an exceptional job for their members for a very long time.

“Hostplus’ Balanced Option has consistently been a top-ten performer” Mr Chant said.

In part, the performance can be attributed to Hostplus’ long-term strategic investment in areas including property, infrastructure and private equity which have typically outperformed cash and bonds. 

Hostplus CEO David Elia was happy to highlight these results have not come about by chance.

“While this year’s results are pleasing, this investment formula isn’t new to Hostplus, nor has it been the result of good luck.

“Our default MySuper Balanced Option offers a diversified portfolio across a wide range of asset classes that has achieved top quartile performance over all investment horizons.  It is this diversification which serves to protect our members from market downturns and maximise their returns.”

Not content to rest on their laurels, the investment team are already looking towards the future. Following the fund’s previous push into infrastructure, Hostplus has turned towards the exciting world of Venture Capital. And with more than $350 million already committed to the space, they’re becoming a major player on the Australian scene. 

The fund’s VC portfolio features an array of emerging biomedical projects including allergy vaccines, Parkinson’s management devices and a new class of antibiotics.  The expansion is testament to Hostplus’ forward-thinking approach, not only investing in a brighter financial future for their young members, but in a healthier future for Australia, and the rest of the world.
