Rewards & Benefits
We like to think of ours as any good relationship – and that means we give a lot back.
When it comes to rewarding our people, we offer generous staff discounts on our products and services, a top 10 industry super fund, health benefits, financial perks and so much more.
We have a range of recognition platforms ranging from celebrations at the team level right through to our company-wide rewards program called ZING.
Our people are rewarded for embodying the Telstra values and helping contribute to making this a great place to work We offer our people a range of incentives like retail, financial, and Telstra service discounts as well as a flexible approach to salary packaging and even the opportunity to purchase additional annual leave.
If you love to be rewarded with the things that matter to you most, then you’ll be excited by the sheer scale of offers and discounts you can get as a member of the Telstra family – no matter where you’re based around the world.
Employee recognition
An important part about our journey to building a world-class technology company is how we recognise and reward our people who’ll help us get there.
Our culture of employee recognition flows from simply highlighting a team member’s job well done in a group meeting through to quarterly rewards at business unit events as well as our company-wide rewards and recognition program.
The beauty of our employee rewards programs is they can be made at the grass roots level, between peers, across business units and around the world. In a connected workplace, we promote each other’s achievements using our internal social media networks and highlight successes on ZING – our online recognition program that rewards our people for demonstrating our business values. Each time you get a ZING, you gain Telstra Points which you can accrue and use towards a prize of your choice ranging from gift vouchers to home appliances.
It’s all about cultivating the right behaviours in our people so we can come together and create a great place to work, where we do amazing things, and encourage everyone to bring out their best.
