MASG’s company motto is ‘Understand, Manage and Deliver ‘ and by all accounts, they seem to be doing just that with a risk management approach that’s upheld by their core values.
MA Services Group has gone from strength to strength in recent years, growing their business by adopting a set of core values which reflects their culture and (they believe) sets them apart from others within their field.
Initially founded as a security company in 2009 by Micky Ahuja ( who was working at the time as a guard), MA Services Group has evolved into a national company, with a head office in Melbourne, Victoria and now provides a wide range of facilities services. These include Retail Security and Loss Prevention, Asset Protection, Public Safety, Cleaning and Customer Service.
From the outset, MAServices Group’scompany values have helped shape the organisation and acted as a guiding light for employees. So what values are we talking about?
“The values we share describe the core principles that distinguish the MASG culture” states Micky Ahuja. “They define who we are and what we stand for. These include…
· Interaction - We know that every opportunity for us to interact within the community makes a positive impact on others. Not only does this build rapport within our team, but it enhances our reputation both to existing and prospective new clients.
· Leadership by example - We act in a manner that demonstrates what we expect of each other
· Recognition and reward- We’re proud of our employees and the skills, experience and commitment they show our organisation. This is reflected in formal and informal recognition and reward programs.
· Respect for the individual- We respect people for who they are irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, physical abilities, age, sexual orientation, religious benefits and other ideologies.
· Strength from cultural diversity- Our commitment to diversity helps people grow stronger and become better professionals and leaders. This, in turn, drives our business forward and helps us provide a better customer experience.
To foster diversity, MASG has implemented initiatives which identify, support, and nurture talented individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds.
They are proud participants in the Nabenet Integrated Workplace Health Services program which helps to get previously injured workers back into the workforce. Suitable candidates are eased back into the workplace by performing no more than 20 scheduled hours a week until they’re ready to complete a full week’s work.
They also have an Indigenous and Disadvantaged Backgrounds Recruitment plan in place which aims to provide apprenticeships for people from disadvantaged and indigenous backgrounds. Their target is a 2% indigenous background workforce by the end of the next financial year.
Besides these core values, MASG is committed to achieving better gender equality within an industry that is predominantly male. As such they are actively doing all they can to get more women on-board.
Their people and the teams they create at each contract are key to the long term and sustainable relationships MASG has with each of their customers.
How MASG serve the community
MA Services Group are committed to their communities and act as responsible corporate citizens by broadening their skills, experience, and outlook through being active within their communities and helping to protect the environment.
They have also gained a reputation for giving back to the community by supporting various local charities.
In November last year, for example, they attended a charity ball organised by the Victoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation which was set up to commemorate the many Victoria police officers who have died in the line of duty. All proceeds went towards the upgrade of the women’s and children’s precinct at the Angliss Hospital in Ferntree Gully.
Team members from MA Services Group also played their part and raised money for cancer research last year by holding a ‘Biggest Morning Tea’ event which was a great success.
What really stands MASG apart from their competitors is their passion to help build a fairer and more inclusive society both within the workplace and the community.
They know this starts with awareness, education, and understanding which is why they’re proud to sponsor White Ribbon Australia.
This is a global movement of men who are collectively working to stop men from violating women. Their aim is to create an Australian society where all women can live their lives safely, free from abuse and violence.
MASG’s company motto is ‘Understand, Manage and Deliver ‘ and by all accounts, they seem to be doing just that with a risk management approach that’s upheld by their core values.
