Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women is an annual list that recognises organisations across Australia that are creating workplaces where women can genuinely thrive in their everyday experience. It highlights employers that combine strong business performance with high trust, flexibility, fair pay and real opportunities for women at all levels of the organisation.
The data science behind this list from Great Place To Work®
Great Place To Work® has been surveying employees around the world about their workplace experiences for 30 years. We have developed a set of themes and metrics that not only predict whether employees feel their workplace is great, but also predict retention, agility, and overall business success. Using our proprietary Trust Index™ survey, we measure the core of what we know creates great workplaces for women — key behaviours that drive trust in management, connection with colleagues, and loyalty to the company. The survey enables employees to share confidential quantitative and qualitative feedback about their organisation’s culture by responding to 60 statements on a five-point scale and answering two open-ended questions.
The list is determined through Great Place To Work’s rigorous For All™ methodology, which evaluates hundreds of Certified™ organisations across Australia. This includes confidential employee feedback gathered through the Trust Index™ survey, a comprehensive analysis of women’s representation at all organisational levels, and additional insights from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). Organisations are assessed based on their ability to provide consistently positive experiences for women while ensuring gender balance and representation that exceeds industry standards. To qualify, companies must be Great Place To Work-Certified™, employ at least 50 women, and demonstrate statistically significant survey results.
