Service NSW has made history as the first Public Service Agency in Australia to be listed in the top 10 ‘Great Place to Work’ rankings.
The placing at eighth in the category for more than 1,000 employees was announced by ‘Great Place to Work’ Australia at its annual award ceremony in Sydney.
According to the Chief Executive at Service NSW, Damon Rees, ‘Great Place to Work’ looks at various criteria with an emphasis on employee engagement before ranking organisations.
Mr Rees said 163 organisations took part in the audit, which included employee surveys and a detailed review of organisational culture.
“Having just opened our 104th Service NSW Centre, our team has grown to almost 3,000 employees with more than 40 per cent of our people working in regional NSW,” Mr Rees said.
“We have a diverse workforce which reflects the community we serve, with 70 per cent of our employees being women and almost 20 per cent of our workforce speaking English as a second language.”
He said that Service NSW prided itself on offering a Flexible Working Policy and its commitment to cultural diversity in the workplace.
“The agency provides a strong suite of training, development and mentoring opportunities,” Mr Rees said.
