It’s official! QMetrix has just been named a Great Place to Work®. We are super proud to have achieved this certification. It is a reflection of our amazing team and the exceptional workplace culture we have built together.
What is the Great Place to Work Certification?
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture. It assesses culture based on an anonymous Trust Index Survey employees fill in, and a Culture Brief of the organisation.
They are the data scientists behind the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list, and their research is backed by data from over 100 million employee engagements surveys. This provides a benchmark used globally to measure workplace culture and recognise employers who create an outstanding employee experience.
How we make culture a top priority
At QMetrix, company culture is high on our list of priorities. Over the years, we have invested in different initiatives to build an ecosystem that prioritises our team and ensures their voices are heard.
Some initiatives over the years include:
- Collectively developing our shared values which have come from the ground up
- Investing in a HR platform to enable management and provide greater transparency with goals and recognition
- Creating a voluntary social committee which plans regular activities everyone can get together for
- Introducing an Employee Assistance Program with telephone and in-person options
- Further investing in the wellbeing of our team to become Mental Health Accredited (soon – we’re in the process)
- Flexible working arrangements
- (Near) endless snacks, fruit, drinks and barista-standard coffee (Melbourne speciality standard) at the office
- A 10th anniversary company trip to thank the team for their efforts in bringing QMetrix to where it is today
Building and fostering a team culture certainly takes a lot more than the above. In many ways it is simply the interactions we have with each other and the standards to which we hold ourselves and each other to. However, the coffee, drinks, social events and 10 year birthday bash does help!
We understand that work is more than “just” work – it is a big part of our lives, and what we experience has an impact on our personal lives. We believe it is important to enjoy what we do, and who we do it with.
