Dawsons Group of Companies has an impeccably high standard of social, ethical and environmental behaviour. Integral to our company’s culture is the idea that we have a responsibility to lead the way when it comes to corporate citizenship.
Each year we have a nominated charitable beneficiary.
During 2009 and 2010 our charity of choice is the RSPCA. We are a recognised RSPCA Corporate Partner and assist both by financial contribution and by volunteering time and materials to assist with repair to local shelters in Cairns.
Dawsons is committed to growing something more than just a profitable business.
In addition to all these charities we also assist numerous community and sporting organisations.
- Mulgrave Combined Cricket Association
- Cairns to Karumba bike ride
- South Cairns Women’s AFL
- Cairns Golf Club
- GEMCO Picnic Day
- Cancer Foundation
In house Programs
It’s always been our philosophy that all Dawsons employees should progress through our company to become better people than when they joined us. Better job skills and better life skills. Our investment in people is one of the most important investments that we make.
We are proud of the culture that we have built over 21 years. We strongly believe that we give our employees every chance to make a positive impact.
“A happy home life means a happy work life”. We believe this statement to be true and have formed a Community Partnership program with Relationships Australia.
We recognise that “fly in, fly out” work patterns can be challenging at times and promote avenues through the courses, services and internal programs we have set up with Relationships Australia. All employees registered through Dawsons Group of Companies are entitled to these programs.
