Lumination – keeping key talent

Edward Carlson (ILF2020), Indaily

Lumination is an Adelaide company pioneering the use of immersive technology (think AI, VR and AR) to revolutionise teaching, learning and work.
Its head of people and culture Phil Williams says his company has not “necessarily been affected” by the Great Resignation and has instead been retaining talent and expanding. “I think there are a few important pillars to what has come out … in relation to the Great Resignation. Some of the common themes [are] organisations not aligning with [an employee’s] purpose. Or perhaps the organisation’s benefits or schemes that they offer to employees are not attractive any more,” says Williams.
To attract people who are aligned with Lumination, Williams says they “embed” the company’s mission, values and guiding principles into the hiring process. “We’ll get people to focus on solving a task and then presenting that back to us to showcase their passion. We found that to be really successful in [attracting] the right talent for us,” he says.
