Great Place To Work® names 2023 Australia’s Best Workplaces™

SYDNEY, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Great Place To Work^®, the global authority on workplace culture will announce Cisco, Adobe, This Is Flow and EFCOMM as the #1 Best Workplaces^TM in Australia in its 16^th annual Best Workplaces^TM List Reveal this 17 August.

The emerging trends of the 2023 list shows that when navigating uncertainty, trust matters – and effective leadership is what sets the best apart from the rest. These themes along with workplace flexibility, trust in leadership and a commitment to First Nations People with intentional steps towards reconciliation- unify those ranked on the 2023 Best Workplaces^TM Australia List– part of the biggest study of workplace excellence on the globe.

The Best Workplaces™ list, announced at an industry event this at Novotel Sydney Darling Harbour, will rank 90 organisations in four different categories and represent over 100,000 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).

The companies were shortlisted using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. In curating what makes a Best Workplace^TM 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. 

Mr Roland Wee, Managing Director of Great Place To Work Australia, said that 2023 Best Workplaces data showed that the impact leaders had on their organisations is greater than ever in a post-pandemic world. After 30 years of un-interrupted GDP growth in Australia, the outlook is looking increasingly challenging for businesses.   

"What we saw in the 2023 results was that leaders and companies that supported their employees through the tough times in Covid came out stronger than those who did not.

"What sets these 90 Best Workplaces apart from the rest is their leaders’ strong integrity and unwavering commitment to deliver on promises, engaging meaningfully with employees, cultivating an atmosphere of mutual respect and building a true sense of camaraderie, especially when times are tough" he said. 

"Employees look to their leaders for direction and stability, intensifying the pressure on leaders to successfully navigate both operational demands and people responsibilities.  

"Employees have to juggle work and personal responsibilities while grappling with the challenges of rising living costs, and they’re seeking leaders to show genuine empathy and care for their individual circumstances. They are looking for leaders who can guide them through the challenges ahead," said Mr Wee.

Mr Neil Solomon, Vice President, APAC & Latin America UKG and Global Great Place To Work Ambassador, said as key sponsor of the Great Place To Work Client Event and Best Workplaces Reveal 2023, UKG celebrates workplaces who embrace the ever-changing workforce.

"Caring for employees isn’t just responsible; it’s a strategic advantage and everyone wins," he said.
