Victorian land lease owner/operator Lifestyle Communities has been named as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality Citation (EOCGE) by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) in its first year of application.
Lifestyle Communities employs 161 people, with 109 being female, which is 67.7%.
“To see that what we stand for and the purpose of our business is recognised is a proud moment. Working towards the rigorous assessment for this citation has been a big body of work but so rewarding at the same time. It was an opportunity to highlight our culture and passion for people by drawing attention to the frameworks we have in place to create an inclusive, supportive, and equitable workplace,” Maribel Robotis, Lifestyle Communities’ People Experience Manager, said on LinkedIn.
Managing Director James Kelly said he wanted the business to continue its programs to deliver “key gender equality practices that have a positive impact.”
Lifestyle Communities has a 50/50 gender split on its Board with 40/40/20 targets across its team.
“Our design and construction team is over 60% female which is a great achievement within a male dominated industry,” James added.
