Building a Culture of Excellence: Insights from The Lottery Corporation Executive Assistants In June, something truly special unfolded as The Lottery Corporation Executive Assistants from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane came together for a Corporate Diversity Pathways EA Ways of Working Workshop Program. Over two days, we created joyful moments as the EAs dared to find a better way to nurture a culture of high performance rooted in inclusion, belonging, understanding, trust and mutual respect. The workshop was a celebration of the EAs’ shared commitment to The Lottery Corporation's values of personal excellence and collaborative success. They embraced their collective strengths while nurturing the uniqueness of each EA's role as a valued member of the diverse, inclusive high performing EA team culture. A standout moment was our keynote speaker, Simone Koolloos, whose journey from young entrepreneur to acclaimed Executive Assistant deeply resonated with the team. Simone's story of resilience, dedication and finding purpose as an EA in 2024 underscored the importance of trust, respect and understanding in our professional relationships. Simone reminded us that building a high-performing EA team isn’t solely about individual accomplishments, but about lifting each other up and inspiring innovative ways of working that support leaders, the organisation and the communities served. This workshop was a testament to The Lottery Corporation's commitment to in-person connection to support the EAs to foster a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion by investing in their personal and professional growth and experiencing a genuine sense of belonging.

“By having the conversations with The SAFE Bar Network and being a part of their vision we have seen such a positive impact on our culture with staff and customers. We’ve had a major increase in business because of the positive feedback from our community in getting The SAFE Bar Network’s word out.” Brian Miller, General Manager at Fieldhouse | Willie’s. Customers who feel safe and comfortable at your venue stay longer and spend more money, bringing in thousands in revenue. They also spread the word that your venue is a place where members of the community can go and have a good time. The SAFE Bar Network is built on the idea that culture change is possible. We believe that when we engage bar and restaurant staff in conversations about harm, active bystander skills, and supporting each other, that we’ll help to shift workplace cultures and put a renewed emphasis on safety. Joining the SAFE Bar Network will help you increase venue safety, increase revenue, increase repeat customers, and reduce staff turnover. In short: you can’t afford not to join.
