Great Place To Work® names 100 Best Workplaces in Australia 2024

SYDNEY, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture announces Cisco, Adobe, Macquarie Cloud Services and Katana1 as the #1 Best Workplaces™ in Australia in its 17^th annual Best Workplaces List Reveal today.

The Best Workplaces list, announced at the Best Workplaces industry event hosted by Great Place To Work at W Hotel Sydney, announces 100 organisations in four different categories which represent over 144,500 employee voices across different industries in Australia. 

Categories include – micro (companies with less than 30 employees), small (companies with 30 to 99 employees), medium (companies with 100 to 999 employees) and large (companies with 1,000 or more employees).   

Appearing in the 2024 list are companies in industries spanning technology, retail, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, education and professional services who vary from employing from 10 to almost 10,000 staff.

The emerging trends in 2024 show that with a shift in the economic environment, workplace camaraderie has become less critical compared to the previous years, and the focus of what employees value has sharply turned towards stability and trust in leadership.

Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia, highlighted that employees are placing a heightened emphasis on fundamental needs like security and stability. Employees are increasingly seeking trustworthy leadership. The strongest indicator of a Great Workplace is the integrity of its leaders. She noted that top-performing companies set themselves apart through their provision of dependable, clear leadership and a stable work environment.

Moulynox pointed out a pivotal change in workplace dynamics, stating, "As external challenges intensify, employees increasingly value leaders who are not only consistent and ethical but also transparent. The growing scepticism towards executive teams underscores the need for leaders to not only implement decisive actions but also to communicate these actions clearly and openly."

The companies were shortlisted using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. In curating what makes a Best Workplace in Australia, we have used the same methodology as we do in curating the renowned Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For in the US and Fortune's World's Best Workplaces.
