At businessDEPOT, creating a genuinely great place to work has always been more than a goal – it’s been part of who we are since the very beginning. We’ve aimed to build an environment where people feel supported, valued, and empowered to bring their whole selves to work.

Now, we’re proud to share that our commitment has been recognised: businessDEPOT is officially Great Place to Work® Certified!

This prestigious certification is the global benchmark for identifying and recognising outstanding employee experience. Every year, more than 10,000 businesses across 60 countries apply to become Great Place To Work-Certified.

It’s based entirely on what our employees say about their experience working at businessDEPOT. And this isn’t just a tick-the-box achievement. 91% of our team told us they think businessDEPOT is a great place to work – well above the Australian average of 60%, and a strong reflection of the culture and workplace environment we’ve worked so hard to nurture.

According to Great Place to Work research, job seekers are 4.5 times more likely to find a great boss at a Certified great workplace. Unsurprisingly, employees at Certified workplaces are also 93% more likely to look forward to coming to work, and twice as likely to be paid fairly and have opportunities for promotion.

As HR Manager, I’ve always believed that workplace culture doesn’t happen by accident. It takes intention, care, and follow-through. Every initiative, every policy, every conversation shapes the way our people experience work here. To see those efforts reflected in our team’s feedback is incredibly rewarding.

 

so, what makes businessDEPOT a great place to work? according to our people, it’s a place where:

  • Trust and transparency are part of everyday interactions
  • Flexibility is lived, not just written down
  • Growth is encouraged and supported in meaningful ways, with no glass ceiling
  • Collaboration, innovation and fun go hand-in-hand

Our values – keeping it real, giving a sh!t, having the guts to do it differently, collaborating to innovate, and bringing the wow – aren’t just words on a wall. They influence how we work together, how we make decisions, and how we treat each other.

Most importantly, this certification isn’t based on policies or processes – it’s based entirely on what our people had to say. And that’s what makes it truly special.

We’ve always believed that when you put your humans first, good things follow. This recognition is proof we’re on the right path – and we’re committed to keeping it going.
