General Mills Australia listed as one of the best workplaces for women

General Mills Australia has been listed as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for Women in 2023 by Great Place To Work — it is one of 50 companies shortlisted for the award.

The Best Workplaces for Women List is determined by a methodology that evaluates data from the Great Place to Work Trust Index Survey, which is a confidential employee feedback survey about their organisation’s culture. The employee is requested to respond to 60 statements on a five-point scale and answer two open-ended questions. Collectively, these statements describe a great employee experience, defined by high levels of trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride and camaraderie.

HR Director ANZ Shontel Turner said: “General Mills brings together remarkable people and every day, women make significant contributions across our business.

“To be recognised on the Best Workplaces for Women 2023 list is a testament to General Mills’ commitment to create an inclusive and empowering workplace where everyone is supported to be their best self and thrive both professionally and personally.

“We continue to invest in initiatives that support career growth for women including mentorship, coaching and leadership training via our Women’s Leadership Network. Our flexible working arrangements also acknowledge the unique challenges many women face, and our employee support services, including a popular school holiday program, ensure working parents are encouraged and supported.

“General Mills’ inclusion on the Best Workplaces for Women 2023 list is not just an accolade. It’s a reflection of our dedication to create a workplace where women feel valued, supported and empowered to excel. We will continue to strive for even greater inclusivity and equality and look forward to celebrating women’s continued success at General Mills.”

General Mills Australia employs over 220 employees across two sites, with the headquarters in Melbourne and its manufacturing site in Western Sydney. Using its global expertise, the company manufactures food products such as Old El Paso Mexican food products, Latina Fresh pasta and sauce, Nature Valley snack bars, Fibre One 90 Calorie snack products, Haagen-Dazs ice cream, 25˚ South pasta and sauce, and Betty Crocker cake mixes and frostings.
