The Great Place to Work Institute has moved AUSCOAL Super up from 38th to 12th on its list of the “50 Best Companies to Work For” in Australia, AUSCOAL has announced.
AUSCOAL Super chief executive Bruce Watson said it was great recognition of the work the fund had done, especially considering the growth and change the fund had undergone over the past 12 months.
“We believe it’s vital to provide our super fund members and employers with superior service and a great experience. This is only possible when you have dedicated, knowledgeable staff and a great culture, which stems from the fund supporting and investing back into its people,” Watson said.
AUSCOAL Super has worked hard to maintain its cultural heritage, he added. “A heavy weighting is placed on the impact that decisions made across the company will have on culture. Respect for each other is a cornerstone of AUSCOAL’s culture and operations,” he said.
It was satisfying to see regional Australia represented on the list, which showed there are opportunities for people who live outside a major city to work somewhere that provides a sound career path with growth and learning opportunities, he said.
The Great Place to Work Institute defines a great place to work as a place where employees “trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do, and enjoy the people they work with,” according to AUSCOAL Super.
