Sustainability Victoria (SV) has been named by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) as one of the best places to work in Australia and New Zealand.
Interim Chief Executive of SV, Matt Genever said the Agency had been ranked fourth on the 2022 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work list in the Government, Education and Not-For-Profit sector.
Mr Genever said he was proud that SV had been recognised as one of the best places to work, “particularly after the challenges we’ve faced during COVID”.
He said the ranking was based on a rigorous assessment process, managed by Australia’s leading behavioural science consultancy Inventium, which included a staff survey and a written submission that outlined SV’s policies, practices and programs to support employees.
“Our leadership team has worked incredibly hard over the past couple of years to create a work environment that connects and engages our staff, all while working remotely,” Mr Genever said.
“We’ve ensured the wellbeing of SVers is at the heart of everything we do, focusing on themes of connection, nutrition and sleep, movement and our mindset,” he said.
“We have a really connected and engaged workforce and this is indicative of some of the initiatives we’ve introduced – Summer Hours, Wellbeing Month, Find Your Flex, staff gift pack and wellbeing days.”
Mr Genever said SV’s new office space was built with wellbeing and flexibility in mind – “it’s an exciting place to work!”
“We have lots of greenery, amazing end of trip facilities, a wellness room, plenty of comfy break out spaces and formal meeting rooms, private nooks for quiet work, lots of storage, a table tennis table, large communal tables and the flexibility to choose where you sit,” he said.
Mr Genever said this was the first time SV had been listed on the AFR BOSS Best Places to Work list.
