Momentum 2025

Taking the Chance to Reset and Carve a Clear Way Forward

Each year, Momentum gives us the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and reconnect, not just with each other, but with the bigger picture of Peoplebank and Leaders IT family.

This year we were on the Central Coast of New South Wales, where we brought our teams from across the business together to reflect, realign, and re-energise around our shared goals and future direction.

Day One

We opened with a reflection on 2024, acknowledging how far we’ve come, how our businesses have evolved, and the key moments that shaped the year.

We followed this with two engaging panel discussions featuring our team: the first explored how integrating personal passions can fuel professional success, while the second examined the habits and mindset of our high performers across the group.

Day Two

Shifted our focus toward transformation. We explored what it will take to evolve our business landscape for the future, with a highlight session from Laura Byrne, Peoplebank's Digital Transformation Lead, who walked us through our digital strategy roadmap and the exciting new innovations to expect in 2025.

The day closed with a forward-focused panel unpacking how we can harness the power of AI and data to drive smarter decisions and better outcomes across everything we do.

Looking Ahead

Momentum gave us the space to ask important questions, challenge each other’s thinking, and create a shared vision for how we’ll continue to grow, as individuals, as teams, and as a business.

But what truly stood out was the energy in the room, the openness, curiosity, and shared commitment to pushing ourselves and each other forward.

We’re returning to our day-to-day roles with purpose, clarity, and yes, momentum.

Now, it’s time to turn ideas into action!

How Australians move between jobs

By Aniela R • August 3, 2026

New data reveals how Australians move between jobs and what it means for employers and job seekers Australia's workforce is more dynamic than many people realise. New research from Jobs and Skills Australia highlights how workers move between occupations and industries throughout their careers, providing valuable insights for employers, recruiters and professionals planning their next career move. According to JSA's newly released Occupation Mobility Interactive Tool, career pathways are often far more interconnected than traditional job titles suggest. Careers are no longer linear One of the key findings from the report is that occupations tend to form clusters, with workers moving between roles that share similar skills and experience requirements. Rather than following a single, predictable career path, many Australians build careers through a series of lateral moves, stepping stones and transferable skill opportunities. For example, Australia's most common occupation, Sales Assistant (General), acts as a significant gateway role. Workers frequently transition into related customer service positions, while others leverage their experience to move into higher-skilled roles such as retail management, administration and clerical positions. The research identifies eight broad occupational mobility clusters across the labour market, including: Social, Education and Service Health Science and Research Engineering and ICT Other specialised occupational groups These clusters demonstrate that many careers are connected through transferable skills, creating opportunities for workers to pivot into new occupations without starting from scratch. Careers are like LEGO creations. Even when you dismantle one model, the individual blocks remain valuable and can be reassembled into something entirely new. Transferable skills are the pieces that make career pivots possible.
