Why Work at Dyers?

At Dyers, we’re built by listening, acting, and backing our people every day. We are e a proudly family owned transport & logistics company, employing over 550 people across varying roles in driving, mechanics and office staff.

We offer stable work, competitive pay, and a professional environment where safety, respect and teamwork aren’t just talked about.

 

 

Here are a few things our employees tell us matter most:

What Makes Dyers a Great Place to Work?

Family Owned Values, Modern Thinking

Being family owned means decisions are made quickly, people matter, and values aren’t just words on a wall. Our leaders are visible, approachable, and genuinely care about the people behind the roles.

“Directors have shown compassion to staff which is a very admirable trait.”
“It’s easy to get a decision made and a process implemented.”

Safety Comes First - Always

Safety is a non negotiable at Dyers. We’re committed to best practice Work Health & Safety and continually invest in systems, training, and initiatives that keep our people safe.

Our focus is on:

• Safe work practices
• Early intervention and injury prevention
• Supporting people to return to work safely and confidently

“The safety is a priority which is great.”

A Team That Has Each Other’s Back

Across all roles and depots, there’s a strong sense of teamwork and mutual support. People at Dyers feel valued — from the owners to the drivers — and that shared respect creates a workplace where people want to go above and beyond.

“We work well as a team and support each other—that makes this a great place to stick around for. It makes you want to go above and beyond because they do the same for you!”

 

Recognition & Reward

Haul of Fame

Our Haul of Fame program recognises employees who consistently go the extra mile.

• One winner per depot each month
• $100 gift voucher and certificate
• Recognition across the business
• Open to all roles — drivers, depot, workshop, admin

We recognise the behaviours that matter most: safety, teamwork, reliability, professionalism, and pride.

 

Knights of the Road

The Knights of the Road program proudly recognises and rewards employees who have served 10 years or more alongside the Dyer family.

Our Knights enter a distinguished circle of recognition, receiving special acknowledgement each year they remain in active service — a tribute to their loyalty, dedication, and contribution to our shared success.

A Knight can be any member of the Dyers team — whether on the road or in the depot. What unites them is not their role, but their commitment.

The Dyer family proudly recognises our Knights in shining armour — those who protect our interests, lead skilfully and ethically, act with integrity, and demonstrate unwavering loyalty.

Today, more than 50 employees have achieved 10+ years of service with Dyers Distribution — a testament to the strength of our culture and the people who define it.

Competitive Pay & Stability

We offer strong earning potential, stable employment, and consistent work.

“The money is very good. Dyers pay well.”
“Good earnings and good staff.”

 

 

Respect & Workplace Standards

Respect the Cab

Developed directly from employee feedback, Respect the Cab reinforces pride, professionalism, and respect for our vehicles and shared workspaces.

It sets clear expectations around:

• Clean, smoke-free cabs
• Respect for shared equipment
• Taking pride in our fleet

 

Our people deserve safe, comfortable, and respectful work environments — every shift, every run.

 

Zero Tolerance for Bullying or Harassment
add in code of conduct

We maintain clear standards of behaviour and provide confidential escalation pathways for employees who need support.

 

Mental Health & Support

We understand the realities of transport work: long hours, isolation, and pressure. Support at Dyers isn’t just a phone number, it’s built into how we treat each other.

 

Our wellbeing support includes:

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – free, confidential counselling available 24/7 for employees and their families
• Mental health awareness initiatives, including R U OK? campaigns
• Mental Health First Aid training
• A culture that encourages people to listen, care, and support their workmates

“Staff feel looked after.”

Proactive Health & Injury Prevention (Pilot Program)

At selected sites, we’re piloting an onsite health and wellbeing program focused on early intervention and recovery through work.

This includes:

• Onsite health professionals
• Early treatment for minor injuries and soreness
• Ergonomic assessments and conditioning programs
• Support for an ageing workforce
• Faster, safer return-to-work outcomes

 

Our goal is to prevent injuries before they escalate and support long-term health in physically demanding roles.

 

Listening to Our People - and Acting on It

We regularly run anonymous Stay Surveys to understand what’s working, what matters most, and where we can improve.

What makes Dyers different is that we act on what we hear.

Feedback is reviewed by leadership, turned into depot-specific action plans, and followed up with check-in surveys to make sure initiatives are landing as intended.

• Recent employee feedback has directly shaped:
• Respect the Cab
• Haul of Fame recognition
• New wellbeing initiatives
• Ongoing improvement channels

 

We also provide an always-open Workplace Improvement Form, so employees can share ideas anytime - not just during a survey.
