Mirvac's CEO and Managing Director Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz said that the move reflected Mirvac's commitment to fostering a collaborative and high performing workplace culture.
"Our motivation for change was to create an environment to support our people to work more effectively and collaboratively. Our employees are our greatest asset and we wanted to provide them with a workplace and the tools that they need to perform at their best.""We have spent a considerable amount of time consulting with all employees and conducting aspirational workshops. This process was managed by our in-house Corporate Solutions team and led to enthusiastic engagement and the creation of our design brief tailored for the way Mirvac works."
