FlexCareers and Lion continue their strong partnership empowering the community

May 31, 2018 by Lion Leave a Comment

Lion is one of Australasia’s largest food and beverage companies, and represent trusted brands in the dairy, juice, soy, beer, cider, wine, spirits and non-alcohol beverages categories. Brands such as Dairy Farmers, Tooheys, Little Creatures, Wither Hills, Dare Iced Coffee, Berri, Hahn, Farmers Union, James Squire, James Boag & more. Our diverse portfolio is produced across 34 sites, where we’re driving long-term sustainable growth and market leadership to generate value for our customers and consumers.

“I’ve leveraged different types of Flex in my different roles at Lion (part-time, flex hours, flex days). Now I work from home on Fridays which gives me some planning and thinking time as well as being able to pick my kids up from school – a very special part of the week.”

Lion CFO, Steph Nixon

Every day, close to 7,000 people work, create, innovate and grow at Lion and our people are supported, encouraged and empowered to be the best they can be. We believe empowering people is key to their success – and our business – and flexibility is a critical part that. Our flexibility policy – LionFlex – has been around for over 10 years. It aims to enable agile & innovative teams by trusting people with the freedom to choose where, when or how they can best achieve in their role. With four different types of flexibility, we’re confident we can work together in a way that suits our people.

Talent Acquisition & Onboarding Director for Lion, Holly Maginness says “For people to be their best at work they need to be able to bring their whole self to work, I see Lion flex as a key enabler to drive this for our people.”

Recently Lion was one of only 6 FMCGs to have received the 2018 Workplace Gender Equality Agency Employer of Choice for Gender Equality Citation.  Their commitment to gender equality and building an inclusive, diverse and fair place to work has led to their goal of 50:50 gender mix by 2026 across the company. Previously Lion also investigated & corrected the gender pay gap across the business and made changes to their processes including conducting pay gap analyses twice a year. These efforts along with mainstreaming flexible work policies empower their people be the best they can be.
