As AGL prepares to close its coal-fired power plants in NSW’s Hunter Valley and Victoria’s Latrobe Valley, it is exploring how to retrain staff who may have been running these legacy assets for 40 years so they can, for instance, operate wind farms in the future.
The superior career development and psychological safety this involves means AGL has won the 2026 Financial Review BOSS Best Places to Work gold award in the Agriculture, Mining and Utilities category. It’s among a number of businesses recognised in this year’s awards for their approach to moving their staff into different roles as the industry switches to clean energy.
