As we approach International Women’s Day, we take this opportunity to honour the remarkable contributions of women in our workforce and the profound impact they have on our communities. At Baldwin Living, a family-owned organisation with a majority female workforce, we pride ourselves on being a values-driven company. We are thrilled to celebrate our 74% female representation—a dynamic that reflects our commitment to inclusivity and compassion in everything we do.
The retirement living sector is deeply personal, centred around creating a nurturing environment where our residents feel safe, valued, and supported. With women at the forefront of our workforce, we embody a natural alignment between the care we provide and the connections we cultivate among both employees and residents. The high representation of women within our organisation enhances our culture, bringing empathy, emotional intelligence, and a nurturing approach to daily operations—qualities that are indispensable in a retirement living setting.
Women are pivotal in every aspect of Baldwin Living, from frontline care and hospitality to leadership and strategic decision-making. Their unwavering dedication ensures our villages are not just places to live, but homes filled with warmth, comfort, and security. Strong female role models within our organisation inspire the next generation of leaders, demonstrating that aged care and retirement living are about more than service; they are about fostering meaningful change in people’s lives.
Our female-majority workforce cultivates a culture of collaboration, mutual support, and innovation. We witness how women uplift one another, sharing knowledge and creating environments in which both employees and residents thrive. This sense of community is intrinsic to our values and extends to our villages, where residents develop deep connections with staff—many of whom understand their lived experiences and bring compassion to every interaction.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate not only the incredible women who make our villages feel like home—our employees—but also the residents whose lives are enriched by their stories, resilience, and accomplishments. Their achievements deserve our recognition, as they exemplify the spirit of Baldwin Living.
As we continue to grow, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a workplace where women feel empowered, valued, and heard. Because when women lead, communities flourish.
