South East Water employees support women re-entering the workplace
South East Water employees donated 26 bags of corporate clothing, shoes, accessories to Dress for Success, a Victorian-based not-for-profit organisation helping women re-enter the workforce.
Dress for Success’ Fundraising and Events Lead, Helen James thanked South East Water for its support.
“We’re so grateful to South East Water’s employees for helping us to provide women with workplace-appropriate clothing to support their transition back to work.
“The women we work with at Dress for Success are motivated to re-join the workforce and build meaningful careers, and an appropriate corporate wardrobe can provide a much-needed confidence boost and remove one of the barriers to employment”.
South East Water’s Acting General Manager People, Safety and Governance, Lara Salembier said the collection gave employees a meaningful way to support to the community.
“We’re committed to supporting our customers and community, so partnering with Dress for Success is a natural fit.
“It’s wonderful to see our employees so eager to give back. Their generosity reflects our organisation’s community culture in supporting an inclusive local service,” Ms Salembier said.
