Lockton, a major privately-owned insurance brokerage, has been awarded the Great Place to Work Certification in both Australia and New Zealand.
Fiona Bridge, the head of human resources for Lockton in these regions, said the certification is a validation of their consistent efforts to nurture an exceptional workplace culture.
“We’re thrilled to be recognised as a great place to work – it’s a testament to the incredible efforts of our teams across the Pacific region,” she said. “At Lockton, we have worked diligently over the last couple of years to cultivate a positive workplace culture, and it’s an absolute delight to receive recognition, reaffirming our commitment to making our company culture a top priority.”
The recognition is granted by the Great Place to Work Institute based on the Trust Index survey, which collects anonymous employee feedback about their workplace environment.
In Australia, the survey saw participation from 148 employees, with 91% endorsing Lockton as an exemplary workplace. A standout statistic from the survey indicated that 98% of the respondents believe their workplace is safe.
Similarly, in New Zealand, feedback from 25 employees, which constitutes 86% of the company’s workforce, unanimously highlighted the positive work culture, with a remarkable average approval rating of 94% across various statements. Employees particularly appreciated the team’s willingness to go the extra mile and clear managerial communication about the company’s direction.
Paul Marsden, CEO of Lockton Pacific, expressed appreciation for the employees’ dedication, which has been pivotal in fostering a conducive work environment.
“Let’s continue to build upon this success and strive for excellence together,” he said.
Great Place to Work, recognised globally for its extensive research on workplace culture, offers tools and insights that help organisations measure and enhance their workplace environment. Its certification is considered a gold standard for employer recognition worldwide, with more than 10,000 companies across 97 countries vying for it annually.
