The days when women were rebuffed and discouraged from working in trades fortunately appear to be behind us, and equal opportunity employers in the trade sector are helping to break the bias when it comes to supporting females to thrive in the industry.
Haxhije (Hajea) Cox, co-owner of Total Tools Shepparton, works behind the scenes in administration while supporting staff on the floor and empowering staff from the side lines.
“It’s great to see more women joining trades and purchasing tools and equipment for themselves,” she said.
“Our team are well informed and are no strangers to our products or the leading brands we stock. All staff, male and female, come from agricultural, trade and construction or mechanical industries.”
The local businesswoman and mother of three says that she has always felt supported in her career. As a business owner, Hajea is making sure other women have the tools to succeed as a female in a male dominant retail industry.
Total Tools Shepparton find a great sense of achievement by empowering employees, including females and people from diverse backgrounds, and by offering equal opportunities across the board.
Total Tools Shepparton is located at 46-52 Benalla Rd, Shepparton. Give them a call on 5821 6400.
