Submission highlights

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

  • Employee Voice

  • Comment from the Judges

    An exceptionally written submission with a clear and concise definition of their purpose across 6 key areas and how these are strategically supported through the values and behaviours. I liked the focus on demographic needs and motivations – not a one size-fits-all approach.

  • Comment from the Judges

    There seems to be a great connection between Speedy Hire’s purpose, culture and their leadership development. There’s also fantastic work being done to support their people and their wellbeing.
