Great Place To Work Insights Report
)
The power shift in Australian workplaces isn’t on the horizon, it’s already here. And it’s not executives leading the charge. It’s employees.
Gone are the days of top-down control. Today’s workforce, especially Gen Z, frontline staff, and underrepresented groups, demand more than perks. They expect fairness, voice, flexibility, and purpose. And they’re reshaping the rules of work to get it.
We surveyed 158,749 Australian workers. The results are undeniable. When people feel supported to take time off, 93% say they want to stay long-term. In companies where flexibility is lacking? Just 63%. That 30-point gap isn’t about benefits. It’s about power, the kind of power that attracts and retains great talent.
The insights in this report are more than data points; they’re your blueprint for relevance, performance, and trust in 2025 and beyond.
The rules have changed. Are you ready?
