We respect and value the unique differences of all people, and will continue to create a culture that embraces diversity organically in all that we do, be that through our people, our products, our brands, and the services we deliver across all communities. 

Core to our commitment is enabling people with a disability to participate fully in any aspects of our organisation. For our consumers this means enabling them to have equal access to our products and services and for our team members or potential team members this means enabling them to participate equally in every stage of the employment cycle.

Q&A with Caleb

Caleb, Pyrmont office barista

How did you get your job at Hanes? 
AimBig helped me on my job search. I've had two other barista roles previously before getting my current role at Hanes. 

How did you find the process?
Everyone was really helpful, I transitioned into the role very easily and felt very welcome. I was given a tour of the office and got to help figure out a good spot for the coffee machine with the support of my job coach. Overall the process was quick and easy which I really liked. 

What's your favourite part about your role and working at Hanes?
Getting to meet and talk to lots of new people all the time. I like making coffees for the friends I've made and get to hear about their day-to-day. I've also enjoyed having the chance to set up systems and routines that work for me in my role, I feel like my own boss a little bit!

Would you recommend Hanes as a great place to work and why?
Yes I would, I like the people and that the donations our coffees go to is a good casue. 

Do you have any advice for anyone with a disability who's starting a new job?
Be happy and open to feedback, I always ask if anything I'm doing can be improved so I can do the best job possible.
