The prestigious annual list, published by The Australian Financial Review and BOSS magazine, is based on an employee survey and written submission, and assessed by leading behavioural science consultancy Inventium.
Submissions are assessed on how an organisation supports teams to improve and grow over time, provide choice in what employees work on, and working practices to help employees rise to the challenges of their roles.
Inventium founder, Dr Amantha Imber, said: “Inventium is proud to announce the 2022 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work list in conjunction with The Australian Financial Review.
“We have undertaken extensive research into what truly makes a brilliant workplace, and we are thrilled to recognise many organisations who are leading the way with innovative practices that drive key elements such as flexibility, wellbeing, and equality,” she added.
