Diversity and Inclusion

Co-designing thriving organisational cultures

At the heart of thriving organisations is a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, particularly within environments traditionally dominated by male leadership. Creating a culture that actively promotes and supports the inclusion of diverse voices enriches the workplace, driving innovation and competitive advantage. Our focus on enhancing female representation in these industries is more than just a goal or ticking a box - it's an essential strategy for fostering equitable and dynamic organisational cultures. 

The Hon Brendan O'Connor MP, Federal Minister for Skills and Training, providing the opening address for the 2024 Empowered Women In Trades Awards Gala

In a previous interview, the Honorable Brendan O'Connor, Federal Minister of Skills and Training underscored the importance of this mission, particularly for increasing the female representation within skilled trades in his address at our recent Empowered Women in Trades charity fundraising event. His insights affirm our commitment to transforming industries by empowering women to excel and lead. Watch this interview to learn more about Hacia's NFP organisation "Empowered Women In Trades" who are committed to realising this vision.

Join us in championing diversity and nurturing environments where every individual has the opportunity to succeed and make impactful contributions.

Championing Respect Equality

At the heart of Hacia’s philosophy on leadership lies a simple yet powerful principle: respect equality.

We believe that every individual, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or background, deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Our ideology is rooted in the fundamental belief that true equality can only be achieved when every voice is heard, every perspective is valued, and every person is given the opportunity to thrive.

We are committed to fostering an environment where respect and equality are guiding principles that shape every aspect of our work. By championing respect equality, we strive to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to a more just and equitable society.

“We had Hacia as a guest speaker for our 3rd annual Girls With Hammers conference and she was amazing. Her story of courage and resilience had everybody on the edge of their seats, as well as turning on the tears and laughter in our audience. Hacia was well presented, professional, and had a first-class slide deck to accompany her talk. Hacia was super easy to deal with and extremely reliable. Highly recommended!”

“Hacia is a gifted speaker, connecting with people immediately (and via a screen!) at such an authentic, human level, you both laugh and cry! Importantly she left our group today inspired to take action, to be themselves, to redefine what success means for them, to share their vulnerable wonderful selves and become extra awesome! It all starts with you. Thank you Hacia for sharing your story, your learnings, and for living your legacy!”
