Hazell Bros' culture has developed from its family ownership, and as such, the culture is grounded in family and community values. Many Hazell Bros employees have worked with three generations of the founding family and subsequently have developed strong ties to, and care for the business and each other. These family values create a sense of ownership and belonging, and in a state like Tasmania, it is hard to find someone who hasn’t worked or knows somebody who has worked for the family.
The family culture developed in the local Tasmanian business has continued throughout other regions via the direct involvement of the owners in these businesses. Our work practices recognise that every family has its own challenges to deal with, and we provide support and flexibility to all employees, particularly in times of need, so they can in turn support their families in all aspects of their lives and have a sustainable work-life balance.
Hazell Bros is a recognised Tasmanian Government Employer of Choice and has been since this recognition was first established in 2008. Employers of Choice are recognised by the Tasmanian Government for demonstrating contemporary workplace practices and outstanding support for their staff and providing opportunities for employees to build an effective work-life balance.
Our 800-strong team of employees are the mainstay of the business and their diversity provides Hazell Bros with the skills to ensure we continually add value and exceed our clients’ expectations. Backed by our training and development programs, our people are committed to working safely and upholding the culture based on family values and initiative.
