To have a positive impact on the places we live and work, we're looking at how we give back to the community, how we make all customers feel like they belong in our stores and products, and how we continue to build an equitable working environment that puts our teams' wellbeing first, so people of all backgrounds and abilities find a place in the Bendon family.
Thread Together
We've always strived to have a positive impact on the communities in which we live. Bendon has been a partner of Thread Together since early 2020. Since then, we have donated over 100,000 pieces of lingerie to women in need.We chose Thread Together as an ethical response to our fashion waste, and as a way to afford people dignity during difficult times in their lives by delivering them new quality clothing, lingerie, and shoes.
Alongside other value-aligned partners, including Commonwealth Bank, Goodman Foundation, and Retail Apparel Group, four Thread Together utility vans stocked with apparel and accessories hit the road in June 2020, travelling to communities including Wagga Wagga, the North and South Coast of NSW, as well as metro Sydney. The initiative assisted those who lost their homes due to the devastating bushfires that hit Australia in late 2019.
Diversion and Inclusion
We believe that a team of people from diverse backgrounds, nationalities, genders and cultures bring a new array of perspectives to the table,which is the vital ingredient that propels us to be a better and more innovative company. This belief drives us to create an environment where all team members feel represented, respected, supported, and appreciated. As a result, each individual can feel more comfortable being themselves, ultimately leading to higher job satisfaction and happiness.
Our initiatives, policies and processes are in place to ensure we achieve true diversity so that we can continue to put the wellbeing of our people at the forefront of what we do.
Employee Benefits
We focus on creating a great culture to positively impact people who are part of our team. From a casual and warm environment to our employee benefits, empowering people to be their best selves is at our core. In addition, we offer a range of additional benefits that enable teams to balance their time at work and home so that all team members can find their place comfortably in the Bendon family.
