Meet Doris Cook, Executive Director, Workplaces, Corporate Services

Doris Cook will continue leading the Workplaces team as they work to deliver the Future Workplace program, enabling greater flexibility and collaboration across Transport.

What are the biggest opportunities for you and your team working in this new operating model?

Workplaces was formed in mid-2019 to deliver the Future Workplace program, which will provide consistent employee experiences across all the Transport sites, both metropolitan and regional.

As the Evolving Transport transformation program continues, our work will be essential in enabling new ways of working, especially in terms of technology, leadership and flexibility. It’s not just a building program – it will change the whole workplace experience.

What would you like to see your team achieve in 2020?

It will be great for our people to experience the brand-new environments we are currently building at Macquarie Park, Elizabeth Street and our Newcastle site. However, given the current landscape, our focus is also on supporting our organisation through Coronavirus working conditions. By working with divisions to understand how their ways of working are evolving, we will be able to cater for their requirements as they continue to shift and adapt their workstyles to best deliver for our customers.

What excites you most about your role and team?

I’m excited about the opportunity to improve our workplaces, not just in terms of aesthetics, but how these spaces can really support and enable our people to deliver and achieve at Transport. It’s about creating workspaces that respond to different types of settings and needs, whether collaborative or individual. This is a great opportunity to make a change at Transport and deliver a more positive experience to our employees.
