Inaugural List Highlights Top Employers in Finance and Insurance
Great Place To Work has released its first-ever Best Workplaces in Finance & Insurance list for Australia, drawing on feedback from 18,712 employees across the industry. The list features 15 organisations, ranging from small specialist firms to global names, that have demonstrated a strong commitment to workplace culture.
Bizcap Australia secured the number one spot, followed by EML Group and Jacaranda Finance. The rankings include challenger lenders, global payments companies, and other industry players.
Employee Satisfaction Soars at Top Workplaces
The survey data reveals that 93% of employees at the listed organisations are proud to tell others where they work, compared to just 60% at typical Australian companies. Additionally, 88% of employees at these top workplaces expressed a desire to stay long-term, versus 56% at average workplaces. This loyalty is particularly valuable in an industry where replacing a single experienced hire can cost upwards of a year's salary.
Leadership Perspective on Workplace Culture
Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia and New Zealand, commented: "Every finance and insurance business in the country is fighting for the same people right now, and the companies on this list have worked out that the best way to win that fight is to be somewhere people want to stay." She added: "This is a sector that talks a lot about trust with customers. What these companies show is that it starts on the inside, with the people who turn up every day."
