Working with us

At Officeworks we believe understanding and responding to the needs of our communities is best accomplished when we reflect, encourage and value the diversity of the communities that we live and work in.

Officeworks is focused on our team members’ wellbeing, sense of belonging and providing inclusive experiences that allow them to bring their whole selves to work every day.

In order to build an inclusive workplace, Officeworks has developed a Diversity & Belonging strategy that focusses on four key areas: thought, identity, accessibility and First Nations. Each area is supported by a 12-month plan to deliver genuine and sustainable change.

We value and respect the protocols, heritage and culture of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and aim to work together to continue to educate, sustain and build on these standards.

Officeworks is committed to increasing opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through employment. We have developed an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Plan that outlines our passion and commitment to creating more opportunities for Indigenous people to join our business and grow their careers.

We recognise the importance of providing an inclusive environment for all our team members and encourage our team members to work in the way that best supports them to achieve business outcomes as well as considering their personal life.

We offer a range of options in hours and rosters for our store and CFC teams, and within our support office teams we recognise that preferences and expectations are changing. People would like some choice on where and how they deliver their work and Officeworks are strong advocates for this. Our focus is, more importance on the work outcomes with greater flexibility on the workplace, offering engaging work and career opportunities, and a meaningful and a safe team member experience.

We believe in supporting our team members at work and at home through any stage of their career and life journey, that’s why we’ve implemented a number of policies and programs.

Our ‘Growing Families’ parental leave policy includes 12 weeks of paid leave, as well as superannuation contributions and long service leave accrual for the full 52 weeks for the primary carer. For a secondary carer, it includes two weeks of paid leave, including superannuation The policy also recognises that growing a family can happen in many ways, so it also includes support for its team members going through IVF, adoption and surrogacy. Eligibility for the Growing Families program commences the day you start with us!

Our ‘Circle In portal’ supports carers and working families. This portal is our one stop shop for all thing’s family wellbeing, including the latest articles, tips, resources and webinars for every team member across our business

At Officeworks, we want to be the safest, healthiest and most vibrant team. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our team, customers, suppliers, contractors and visitors, across all Officeworks locations, to ensure that everyone goes home to their family in the same state they arrived.

We continue to create a culture where safety, health and wellbeing are proactively discussed and we have an ever-evolving safety strategy, delivering important initiatives to reduce the risks that our team members face. Nominated team members make up our Stay Safe teams, but all team members are encouraged to take an active role in ensuring a safe and healthy workplace.

To support our team members be the best version of themselves, we have developed a holistic health and wellbeing program ‘Your Best Life’. The program aims to empower our team by providing tools, resources and initiatives to optimise outcomes across mind (mental health and wellbeing), body (physical health) and soul (non-personal elements of wellbeing).

Our partnership with Converge International delivers an Employee Assistance Program that goes beyond traditional counselling and includes specialist advice in a number of areas such as financial wellbeing, family assistance, legal advice, career development, manager assist and more. Converge International also offers health and wellbeing resources and dedicated helplines to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTIQ+ team members, disability and carer support and support for those experiencing domestic and family violence.

Including a discount card providing up to 20% discount across all Officeworks stores Australia-wide and up to 5% discount at Target and Kmart.

Eligible team members also have the opportunity to participate in the Wesfarmers Employee Share Acquisition Plan via the annual salary sacrifice program.

We’re passionate about building and maintaining meaningful connections with the local communities where we live and work. In addition to employing local people in our stores, we support national, state and local causes to support individuals and groups that need it the most, with a particular focus on education.

At a national level we partner with The Smith Family and raise funds for its Learning for Life student sponsorship program through our Back to School Appeal that runs from December to February each year. We also support the Australian Literacy & Numeracy Foundation (ALNF) through our annual Wall of Hands initiative in September, which raises funds for literacy packs and education programs in remote indigenous communities such as APY Lands, Palm Island and Alice Springs to help raise language, literacy and numeracy standards.
