SYDNEY, Australia - 22 June 2012
- NetApp has been awarded a top ranking on BRW's 2012 "50
Best Places to Work" list for the fifth consecutive year. Based on
research conducted by the Great Place to Work™ Institute
Australia, NetApp this year was ranked #2.
The consistent recognition in the top three
as a great place to work provides further validation that NetApp's
customers, partners and employees are inspired by a company with a
strong set of values at the core of its culture. Initiative,
innovation, integrity, and above all, commitment to the customer
are encouraged for every employee. These principles create a unique
culture that fosters an environment where employees thrive,
providing inspiration to help partners and customers maximize their
success. Specific benefits enjoyed by staff include flexible work
practices; education benefits; and NetApp's Volunteer Time Off
program which allows an extra week paid leave to take part in
community service.
"We are committed to building a company that
drives growth and success for our customers and partners," said
Peter O'Connor, Vice President for NetApp Australia and New
Zealand. "Earning another spot on BRW magazine's list of
the 'Best Place to Work' is fantastic recognition of our talented
and passionate team."
"Our employees are the heart and soul of our
company, enabling us to attract and retain the best talent in our
industry. Our commitment to shared values unites us globally and
fosters an environment in which innovation and teamwork
thrive."
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.

differentiation for the company, which is why the company nurtures
its culture by measuring itself against the world's best
