People First

At Workwear Group, the health, safety, and wellbeing of our people is our number one priority. We have robust plans, policies, and programs in place to uphold this commitment and foster a strong safety culture. We set, measure, and report on safety targets with a continuous improvement mindset. Our risk management program includes regular site audits and proactive initiatives such as ‘Walk the Talks’ and Safety Interactions. 

We also champion psychological safety. Our support includes internal awareness training, leader-led psychosocial conversations, accredited Mental Health First Aiders, an Employee Assistance Program, and a drop-in Wellbeing chats on a monthly basis. We prioritise wellbeing through interactive workshops and webinars on physical and mental health, alongside programs such as ergonomic support, warm-up and strength sessions, safe driving courses, and first aid training. These initiatives reflect our belief that caring for our people is essential to Tailoring a New Tomorrow. 

We are proud to foster a diverse, inclusive, and engaged workforce where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. Our diversity and inclusion strategy is informed by our people and focuses on gender and cultural diversity, the engagement of First Nations People, and equal opportunities for all. Programs such as unconscious bias training help us create a workplace where belonging is more than a word, it’s a lived experience. Diversity is a strength that drives innovation and sustainability, shaping the future we are tailoring together. 

Guided by our People First pillar in our Tailoring a Better Tomorrow framework, we invest in learning programs that empower our people to grow, adapt, and lead with purpose. Our approach creates meaningful experiences that build capability and resilience for the future. Through mentoring, communities of practice, coaching groups, and knowledge-sharing sessions like Lunch & Learns, we foster curiosity, collaboration, and innovation, supporting our journey to be a true learning organisation. 

We support the ‘exposure’ and ‘experience’ pillars of career development, ensuring every opportunity connects to real-world impact. Reflection, application, and feedback remain at the heart of our learning culture, aligned with our We Learn brand that champions curiosity and problem-solving. By investing in our people, we’re not just building skills, we’re shaping leaders who will thrive in our organisation.
