And factors such as job security, training opportunities, a company health management program with a wide range of offers, the share purchase program, corporate benefits and employee parties round off the overall package for her.

‘Different cultures sometimes have different ways of working. By dealing openly with each other and developing common approaches to our work, we can promote cooperation and learn from each other.’

Different countries. Different customs. Focus on Australia.

Our Journey to Reconciliation

In Australia, Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) are formal frameworks that guide organisations in contributing to national reconciliation efforts with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples—the First Peoples of Australia. Endorsed by Reconciliation Australia, these plans aim to foster respectful relationships and create meaningful opportunities for First Nations peoples.

‘I like the intercultural aspect of my work. The exchange with customers and colleagues worldwide is fun and extremely important for the success of our work.’
