28 28 EMPLOYEE ATTRACTION & RETENTION Centaurus actively promotes open and ongoing dialogue with our employees and encourages them to discuss any work-related issues with their direct supervisors at any time. This informal approach is complimented with a more formal annual employee/employer performance assessment and management program. This is a two-way conversation, where an employee’s performance is evaluated each year by their direct supervisor, and employees can provide feedback and discuss any work-related matters in a confidential and constructive manner. These one-on-one meetings are considered by employees to be a valuable opportunity to give and receive direct feedback, enable continuous improvement, and strengthen professional relationships. The Company rolled out performance-based bonus plans for employees, in both Brazil and Australia, in 2022 and has continued this practice through 2025. Depending on the position and hierarchical level of the employee, each person participates in a bonus plan, with all plans designed to incentivise employees to achieve work-based milestones that stem from the Company’s strategic objectives. Each employee’s performance is assessed annually against their relevant targets, with new targets also defined on an annual basis. The details of the bonus plan for Brazil-based staff are discussed and agreed on by a committee created by employees, employer representatives and union representatives. As required by Brazilian labour laws, the remuneration reviews and the bonus plans for Brazil-based staff must be approved by the relevant worker’s union that has jurisdiction over the regional area. The current collective bargaining agreements are valid until June 2026. Both unions (in Pará and Minas Gerais states) continue to be pleased with the structure of the Company’s collective bargaining agreements. Remuneration reviews for all staff are also undertaken on an annual basis. In Brazil, staff remuneration is adjusted every year at least according to inflation over the past 12 months.
