Submission highlights

This year’s strongest elements as indicated by our independent judges.

  • Wellbeing

  • Employee Experience

  • Leadership

  • Comment from the judges

    Great values that clearly steer the company, and lots of good initiatives that show you really do care. Love that you have become a B Corp and how you came together during tough times, supported employees and managed NOT to have layoffs support that this really is a caring culture.

  • Comment from the judges

    In full transparency, I must admit that reading this entry, particularly the detailed description of the response to the seismic activity challenges, left me inspired and humbled. Profoundly touched! I also want to highlight the ‘Compliments Corner’ initiative (thank you for the idea! :)) and calling out cultural awareness as a key priority. A wholehearted ‘well done’ and may the journey ahead be safe and fulfilling!
