Project Details
About the project
The first edition of Australia’s Best Employers 2025 was created using feedback from professionals throughout the nation and a detailed methodology to evaluate companies. Feedback was gathered from a survey conducted via several online access panels, providing a representative sample of Australia’s workforce. Respondents were asked to evaluate both their own employer and other employers in their industry. The data is then analyzed using a proven scoring model to rank the highest-rated employer brands, with additional evaluations at demographic and industry levels to provide insights into the Australian labor market.
To be considered for the ranking, companies (or their subsidiaries) had to have some degree of operations or employment activity in Australia with at least 200 employees. The final list recognizes the top 300 employers, grouped according to 27 industries.
Scoring
The scoring in our evaluation
Our scoring model weights more than 200,000 evaluations collected from independent surveys, divided into direct promoter score and indirect public perception score.
Direct score
The direct score was given the heaviest weighting. On a scale of 0 to 10, respondents indicated how likely they were to recommend their own employer to friends or family – with 0 being the least likely and 10 highly likely to recommend.
Indirect score
Respondents indicated the industry they work in. Based on this, each respondent is shown a selection of employers who are active in the given sector. Respondents can then voluntarily recommend or advise against employers from the list.
METHODOLOGY
How we work
Learn about our general approach to creating employer rankings. Further details about how the ranking was created can be found in the Australia's Best Employers 2025 methodology.
01 Concept
For our employment projects, we evaluate and rank the world’s leading employers, highlighting organizations that excel in fostering positive work environments and sustainable growth. Our rankings help job seekers make informed career choices while providing companies with a benchmark to assess their standing in the global job market.
02 Data Collection
For data collection, our team of analysts creates detailed online questionnaires that ask survey participants about work-related topics. By working with leading online access panels worldwide, suitable participants are identified and surveyed independently of potentially awarded employer brands. Survey responses are then checked for quality and validity (interview length, variances, inconsistencies) and sorted accordingly.
03 Evaluation
To evaluate the data, we apply a scoring model that combines direct feedback on the participants’ own employers with indirect feedback on other employers within their professional fields.
04 Quality Assurance
For each potential award-winning employer, company information is researched and eligibility for the list is confirmed. This step serves as quality assurance and is presented as information in the publication.
