BVN Culture - ‘The Secret Sauce’
BVN was named one of the top 10 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work 2022 and awarded the 2019 Best in Practice Prize (NSW) by the Australian Institute of Architects. The AIA commended BVN’s progressive approach to workplace culture and noted our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and leadership-driven change. Policies like research time, flexible work, parental leave, and profit sharing are available to all staff, junior and senior.
We foster a learning environment and support career growth at every level. Our culture champions collective creativity, inclusion and diversity, with strong support for women in leadership—five of our Principals, including Co-CEO Ali Bounds, are women. Our BVN Pride Network supports LGBTQIA+ staff, their families, and allies, and it helps shape a more aware and inclusive culture through lived experience and shared insight.
