The Power of Inclusive Workwear

Across industries like mining, construction, and trades, women are making their mark more than ever before. They are bringing new skills, fresh perspectives, and strong leadership into workplaces that have traditionally been male dominated.

But for many, even something as simple as workwear has been a daily challenge. Ill-fitting clothing can restrict movement, create discomfort, and undermine confidence. Inclusive workwear changes that sending a powerful message of belonging while also improving safety and performance.

We spoke with Rebecca, Contracts and Purchasing Officer at Regis Resources Ltd, about why the right women’s workwear matters, and how it’s helping businesses like hers create more supportive and productive worksites.

Experience from the Field

With nearly five years in mining, Rebecca understands the demands of the job. She also knows how vital it is for women to feel comfortable and confident in what they wear on-site.

“Inclusive workwear might seem like a small thing, but it can make a big impact. When women are given clothing that actually fits and functions just as well as men’s, designed with them in mind, it sends a clear message: you belong here.”

Why Regis Resources Choose Bisley

Through their partnership with Heatleys Safety Industrial & Automotive, Regis Resources has turned to Bisley Workwear to equip female employees with a range designed specifically for them. These garments are built from the ground up for women offering the right fit, functionality, and safety features from day one.

The result? Employees feel more confident, more respected, and more engaged in their roles. 

“Their clothing isn’t just a smaller version of men’s, it’s designed specifically for women, with the right fit, functionality, and safety features. It’s more than clothing. It’s a message that our team is valued and supported.”

Boosting Productivity and Performance

The benefits of inclusive workwear go beyond comfort and belonging, they also drive efficiency and productivity.

When clothing fits properly, employees can move more freely, stay focused, and perform tasks more effectively. In industries where safety and speed are critical, this means fewer distractions, fewer risks, and stronger results.

Inclusive workwear is more than just the right thing to do, it’s also smart business.

Advice for Women Entering the Industry

Rebecca also shares her encouragement for women considering a career in mining, trades, or any industry where women have historically been underrepresented:

“If you’re thinking about stepping into a career in these industries, here’s what I want you to know: your skills, your voice, and your perspective matter, probably more than you realise. Don’t let outdated ideas or stereotypes make you second-guess your worth. You absolutely belong, and your presence can help push things forward in a meaningful way.”
