The Top 10 Inspiring Workplaces include: Tax Traders, Douglas Pharmaceuticals, Reward Gateway & more… World’s #1 Awards Recognising PeopleFirst Organisations
SYDNEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA, August 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today Inspiring Workplaces Group (IW), announces the 2025 Top 10 Inspiring Workplaces winners across Australia and New Zealand - recognising them as truly PeopleFirst organisations.Entrants to the Inspiring Workplaces Awards were asked to provide proof of their investment in people by completing the entry form consisting of the six key elements IW believes are fundamental to creating a PeopleFirst culture, and by extension an Inspiring Workplace. They are:
• Culture and Purpose
• Leadership
• Wellbeing
• Inclusion
• Employee Voice
• Employee Experience.
The quality of submissions this year has truly elevated the standard, marking it as the strongest ever witnessed by the independent judging panel. This reflects a significant commitment from business leaders to prioritise their people and reap the well-deserved rewards. Furthermore, it demonstrates the tangible, positive change occurring in workplaces worldwide that we have seen in entries to the Awards in other regions.
Each of the six key elements were also judged separately for special recognition in each discipline.
Organisations of all sizes and industries entered a category defined by how many people are within the business. The Top 10 winners were decided by an independent expert judging panel.
Matt Manners, Founder, The Inspiring Workplaces Group, commented: “As Inspiring Workplaces marks its 10th anniversary, we’re proud to recognise organisations that are setting the gold standard for PeopleFirst cultures. This isn’t just a feel-good approach, it’s a fundamental business strategy. With AI reshaping the way we work, companies that continue to prioritise profit over people may find themselves facing short-term wins but long-term setbacks. PeopleFirst isn’t optional. It’s essential.”
