Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determined the Best Workplaces™ Australia 2022 List by conducting annual workforce studies through our Trust Index Survey™ and Culture Management platform Emprising®, representing the voices of almost 50,000 employees across Australia.
Employees responded to over 60 survey questions describing the extent to which their organisation creates a great place to work For All™, meaning that the company empowers all individuals to reach their full human potential. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what employees report about their experiences of trust and reaching their full human potential as part of their organisation, no matter who they are or what they do. We analyse these experiences relative to each organisation’s size, workforce make up, and what’s typical in their industry and region. The remainder of the evaluation is an assessment of all employees’ daily experiences of the company’s values, people’s ability to contribute new ideas, and the effectiveness of their leaders to ensure they’re consistently experienced.
To ensure surveys truly represent all employees, we require enough people in each organisation to respond that results are accurate to a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error or better. We review any anomalies in survey responses, news and financial performance to ensure there aren’t any extraordinary reasons to believe we couldn’t trust a company’s survey results.

- Large 1000+ Employees
Why do you say in one place your national list scoring is based on 85%/15% and in another place that it is 75%/25%?
We are explaining two different things:
1. The criteria we evaluate
- 85% concerned with Trust and Maximizing Human Potential and
- 15% concerned with everything else
2. Where the data comes from
- 100% Trust Index for organisations with less than 100 employees
- 75% based on the Trust Index survey analytics and 25% based on responses to the Culture Audit for organisations with more than 100 employees.
