Working hard to ensure our wellbeing
‘Foundation’ was established in 1983 when Lend Lease founder Dick Dusseldorp and former chairman Stuart Hornery recognised a direct link between employee wellbeing and a company’s performance. If employees were happy and healthy, more often than not, the company’s performance reflected this.
The focus of the Foundation programs is not only on employee wellbeing, but also the wellbeing of communities where we live and work. Through a variety of health and wellbeing, personal development and community engagement initiatives, we make sure we leave a positive and lasting impact on our employees and the communities. Foundation programs are open to all employees, and in some cases, employees’ families. Programs are developed based on employee and business needs, and governed by a charter and vision.
Foundation hosts global and regional programs throughout the year which focus on one or a combination of the following themes:
Health and Wellbeing – these programs offer practical tips for maintaining a healthy work/life balance, enhancing physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Personal Development – these programs support personal and interpersonal development, helping employees reach personal and professional goals.
Community – these programs engage with communities in which we live and work. Many programs are focused on creating long-term partnerships and matching employees’ skills with community needs.
