Meet Con Poulos, the proud store manager of Cabramatta Woolworths, where inclusive leadership and community engagement go hand in hand.
"We have a lot of fun. When it's serious, we get stuck into the work. It's the people that make the store. I’m lucky to work with a great team. It makes it easy for me to come to work each day and enjoy my day," says Con.
Con believes in treating everyone with equal respect, creating a culture where everyone feels valued. Some of his staff have been in the same store for 35 years!
“Probably 50 per cent of our team is of Asian heritage,” says Con. “We can speak multiple languages. We have team members that can speak Vietnamese, Cantonese and Mandarin to cater to our customers.”
From celebrating cultural festivals, such as the Moon Festival and Lunar New Year, to catering to the unique needs of the community, Con and his team have transformed Cabramatta Woolworths into a hub of cultural diversity and community spirit.
"It’s a market atmosphere, and that's one of the unique qualities of the store. Our customers here want to touch, feel, and really visualise what they're buying in some instances.
"Cabramatta is a great example of where we've got many areas of diversity, both from a customer point of view and a team point of view, and that really showcases what a team can achieve.
Thank you, Con, for your exceptional leadership and for making Cabramatta Woolworths a shining example of community engagement and diversity in action.
