Submission highlights

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

  • Employee Voice

  • Employee Experience

  • Comment from the judges

    These guys are doing awesome things (above what I typically see for a smaller company!). The 85% turnover reduction is an excellent metric, the new product story from a team member’s client observation is a very strong employee voice example, and the travel investment in teams shows a high level of inclusion & valuing of employees. For a company of this size, the People infrastructure already in place is impressive.

  • Comment from the judges

    This is a strong and well-structured submission with a clear narrative that links purpose, values, and employee experience. What stands out most is the intentional design of the employee experience. From structured onboarding and internal career progression to global connection initiatives and leadership investment in people development, there is a clear effort to build confidence, capability and opportunity across the organisation.
