Creating a ‘best place to work’ culture
summary
Over 2.5 million IT roles on LinkedIn and 20,000 in Australia set the hiring pressure backdrop and winning a best place to work award proves practical: the award process uses an anonymous employee survey plus a best practices submission that wants real stories and photos. Concrete moves include an eight-week onboarding and buddy system, open intranet and Power BI access, a shout-out wall for regular recognition, and a retro-based career process. Outcomes reported: headcount doubles in 12 months, referral hiring rises above 50 up to 75, and inMail acceptance jumps ~25%.
