Last year, Seed partnered with Fetch – a leading-edge technology and media company founded in Sydney in 2008.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
After Fetch conducted an engagement survey, they discovered their team were keen to have a formalised, but still ‘Fetch-like’ Performance & Development approach.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Through the facilitation of a number of workshops with Fetch’s people leaders, Seed guided them through the decision points to decide what their new performance management approach should look like and how they would approach its implementation.\u00a0 As part of the workshops Fetch looked at what other leading organisations were doing in this space, and with Seed’s help, Fetch were able to come up with a customised fit-for-purpose solution for Fetch!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Read more, to hear about how Seed partnered with Fetch, both in the design of the solution, as well as the training and capability build of their people, to enable the new approach to be a success …<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Fetch TV is a leading-edge technology and media company.\u00a0 We develop technology, aggregate content and provide the TV entertainment solution that is bundled into broadband and phone plans from Optus, iiNet, Internode, Dodo and iPrimus.\u00a0 We also retail our Fetch entertainment platform directly to customers though Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Bing Lee, and The Good Guys for use with any internet provider.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Founded in Sydney in 2008, we are an Australian managed business with backing from one of Asia’s leading pay TV providers, Astro All Asia Networks. We do a bit of what a traditional pay TV provider does and a whole lot more.\u00a0We\u2019ve got over 680,000 customers and are growing rapidly as Australians increasingly turn to internet delivered entertainment options.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Our team is passionate about content, innovation, and partnerships and we’re committed to providing Australians with real choice and value in their entertainment options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I look after the HR function at Fetch.\u00a0 It\u2019s a standalone position, which sees me looking after the full HR remit for around 95 Sydney based staff.\u00a0 It\u2019s a great role and one where I\u2019m learning each day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What I\u2019m really passionate about is ensuring that Fetch is, and continues to be, a fantastic place to come to work each day. This passion is one that is fully shared by the Senior Leadership Team.\u00a0 We have an amazing and talented group of people, many of whom have been around since Fetch was launched 11 years ago which speaks volumes about what it\u2019s like to work here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Having said that, we\u2019re still quite a young company and in the 5 years that I\u2019ve been here we\u2019ve really looked to put some solid people practices in place.\u00a0 We\u2019re always looking at how we can utilise best practice but put our own unique Fetch stamp on whatever we\u2019re doing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As I mentioned, we\u2019re still quite a young company and we\u2019re still laying down and improving the foundations for all of our people initiatives.\u00a0 What worked well when we were a start-up now needs to be evolved to suit a larger and more established business.\u00a0 This year our focus is on how we can better recognise and reward our team for their outstanding work, as well as \u00a0bedding down our approach to learning and development.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
We conducted our 2nd engagement survey in 2018.\u00a0 That survey told us that our team were keen to have a formalised Performance Development process rather than the informal approach that had previously been in play.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Seed were engaged to facilitate a number of workshops with our people leaders to help us decide what our new performance management approach should look like and how we would approach its implementation.\u00a0 As part of the workshops we looked at what other leading organisations were doing in this space, and with Seed\u2019s help we were able to come up with a customised fit for purpose solution for Fetch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Once we had the solution, Seed were also engaged to train our staff on the process of giving and receiving feedback, coaching and goal setting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Seed People Consulting were fantastic in helping us come up with the workshop design and getting us to the end solution through excellent facilitation.\u00a0 We are now close to completing one full cycle of our new Performance Development program which has been very well received across the business.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Seed really took the time to understand the particular nuances of our business and the people we attract.\u00a0 The feedback from staff who attended the workshops and subsequent training was very positive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Our 3rd<\/sup> engagement survey was conducted late last year after completing a formal and informal review cycle of our new Performance Development program, along with the introduction of some other initiatives within the business.\u00a0 The Performance Development program and the other new initiatives resulted in a significant uplift in our engagement score.\u00a0 Fetch now sits above the benchmark for ANZ media organisations, which is a great result for us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Seed really took the time to understand the business and guide us to a customised, fit for purpose solution.\u00a0 The Seed team are very knowledgeable with excellent facilitation skills.\u00a0 They were able to get us to where we needed to be in a well-considered, effective and simple way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Professional, reliable, respectful<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We met with a few consultants before engaging Seed to assist us.\u00a0 We found Seed to be easy to deal with and people who have great subject matter expertise. They really did work alongside us to help come up with the right solutions for Fetch.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last year, Seed partnered with Fetch – a leading-edge technology and media company founded in Sydney in 2008.
