Methodology for awards

The entry process for HRD Australia’s 2024 5-Star Employer of Choice comprised two steps: an employer submission followed by an employee survey.

First, employers had to complete an in-depth submission to explain their various offerings and practices. Next, employees from nominated organisations were asked to fill out an anonymous form evaluating their workplace on an umber of metrics including benefits, compensation, culture, employee development and commitment to diversity and inclusion.

To be considered, each organisation had to reach a minimum number of employee responses based on overall size. Employers that achieved a 75% or greater average satisfaction rating from employees were named 5-Star Employers of Choice for 2024.
