Philp previously held senior leadership roles across Australia and New Zealand, including General Manager of Human Resources at AMP New Zealand.
The appointment of a new Chief People and Culture Officer at SkyCity comes a year after the operator faced an inquiry as to whether it was fit to hold a casino licence.
Last year, the South Australia Gambling and Liquor regulator said this inquiry was instigated because of “systemic concerns raised by inquiries in other jurisdictions.” It also came at the same time both The Star Entertainment and Crown Resorts were facing indictments for compliance failures related to anti-money laundering.
The reinvigoration of this position at SkyCity possibly highlights a move to further its CSR initiatives, and show regulators it can act as a complaint and sustainable organisation.
SkyCity also announced that it has appointed current General Manager of Employee Services Greg McNair to serve as the Acting Chief People and Culture Officer in the interim, running from March 27th. The company is undergoing a management shake-up as it handles inquiries by authorities into alleged anti money-laundering breaches at its SkyCity Adelaide property.
