Sydney, AUSTRALIA - 23 June
2010- NetApp today announced it has been awarded first
place in BRW's annual "50 Best Places to Work" list, based on
research conducted by the Great Place to Work™ Institute
Australia.
Recognising NetApp's ongoing commitment to a
strong, egalitarian workplace culture, this title is the result of
NetApp's positive work environment which encourages trust,
integrity, equality, autonomy, open communication, collaboration
and opportunities for every employee. The company adopts a
down-to-earth approach to accomplishing business objectives and
believes in the strength of a shared vision where employee input is
encouraged and valued. NetApp is committed to being a model company
and its unique culture is embraced at all levels of the
company.
Peter O'Connor, Vice President for NetApp
Australia and New Zealand, said, "We are thrilled and honoured to
be named the best company to work for in Australia. Our talented
employees are our greatest asset and the driving force of our
business. Their passion and dedication is fundamental to NetApp's
success, both in Australia and around the world.
"In addition to having been named the best
place to work in Australia, year-over-year, our employee survey
scores have increased, providing us with the highest employee
survey result ever. We are tremendously proud of being a great
place to work and I thank the NetApp Australia team for its
continued dedication to going beyond and providing an outstanding
experience for our customers."
To select the list of Best Companies, the
Great Place to Work™ Institute works with companies to
complete an employee survey and a culture audit.
Companies are selected as a Best Company
primarily on the basis of their employees' responses to the Great
Place to Work™ Trust Index™, a proprietary employee
survey developed by the Great Place to Work™ Institute.
Further information used for the selection process is provided by
completing the Great Place to Work™ Culture Audit ©, a two part management
questionnaire, also developed by the Great Place to Work™
Institute.
This year, BRW Magazine published
the list of Best Companies from the Great Places to Work
Institute's annual survey, available in the June 24 edition of
BRW.
