International design, engineering and advisory company Aurecon recently received the Great Place to Work certification for its Philippine office, with 96 per cent of its employees saying they find the organisation promotes a positive work culture and environment.
The Great Place to Work™ certification programme uses the Trust Model survey, a global standard to help organisations quantify employee experience against insights collected from workplaces around the world.
To qualify for the certification, employees answered the survey composed of 60 questions and rated the organisation based on management, leadership, health and safety, growth and learning, opportunities, and diversity and inclusion culture.
Leadership was a standout from the survey with 96 per cent approving of leadership behaviour, noting integrity, engagement, competence, credibility, and respect as some of the values they see in Aurecon’s leaders.
Working for an organisation that prioritises the health, safety, and wellbeing of its people was also ranked the highest with 99 per cent of employees finding Aurecon a physically safe place to work, and 95 per cent saying the work environment at Aurecon is friendly and welcoming and encourages a culture of collaboration and fun that allows them to enjoy working as part of a team.
