DIGITAL - APRIL EDITITION

new staff at the tha

Jordan Lewtas

My role at the THA is in employment relations where I will be working on the Greater Customer Experience and assisting our members as part of that which includes, working with the Employment Relations -Business Improvement Manager, in liaison with the Greater Customer Experience GCE Manager. I will also be supporting the management and delivery of the identified Employment Relations /Industrial Relations support services aligned to the Greater Customer Experience (G.C.E.) I grew up on the North West Coast where I attended St Brendan Shaw College before leaving Tasmania for the bright lights of Melbourne. I lived inMelbourne withmy girlfriend Charlotte for 5 years, where I studied journalismand politics and also incorporated elements of law and industrial relations at Deakin University. Prior to graduation I interned at The Herald Sun where I was fortunate enough to have published articles as well as learning valuable career lessons. Work experience included working in the retail sector, on the floor and acting manager in a diverse and high level environment, that included a bottle shop which made me aware of relevant awards and conditions of employment. In typical Tasmanian fashion I found an opportunity to return home and I jumped at it (to the delight of my family) When I’m not at work I spend my time watching any sport I can, including AFL, basketball, cricket and MMA. I come from a teaching background as well as working with disadvantaged youth, developing programs to reintegrate back to school or society. I then spent time in sales followed by owing my own small business. Although new to the hospitality industry, I believe my skills transfer well and I look forward to bring a fresh outlook to the WFD team. Six weeks into the job I’m really excited at the opportunities that are presenting and the direction we are heading and what this will mean in terms of employment outcomes for our members. My spare time is taken up by my three-year-old son and one-year old daughter and wishing I had the time to return to being a single figure handicap golfer. Marc Banovic I started with the THA on the 12 February 2019 as the Workforce Development Manager. I’m looking forward to working hard to deliver really positive outcomes for all our members.
