Sydney – March 20, 2025 – The Inspiring Workplaces Group is delighted to announce today their 2025 Inspiring Workplaces finalists across Australasia. This announcement brings these exceptional organizations one step closer to being named an official 2025 Inspiring Workplace in Australasia.

Celebrating its 10th year, Inspiring Workplaces™ (IW) honors organizations that put their PeopleFirst, creating cultures of trust, purpose, and belonging. More than just a great place to work, these workplaces empower individuals to thrive. Fuelling innovation, performance, and lasting impact.

Matt Manners, Founder, The Inspiring Workplaces Group, commented: “Congratulations to all our finalists for the Inspiring Workplaces Awards across Australasia this year! At a time when the world faces increasing challenges, seemingly on a daily basis, it has never been more important for organizations – large and small – to put their PeopleFirst.

Inspiring Workplaces shines a light on those driving real, positive change – offering hope, inspiration, and a blueprint for others who aspire to build workplaces where people can truly be themselves and perform at their best.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary this year, we are incredibly proud to continue recognizing organizations that are leading the way in creating exceptional workplace cultures. To all our finalists – congratulations on this incredible achievement! Your commitment to putting PeopleFirst is not only shaping the future of work but the future of the world as we know it.”

Being Named a Finalist
Each entrant around the world submits the same entry form. A rigorous form consisting of the six key elements that 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; and Employee Experience.

Organizations of all sizes and industries enter a category defined by how many people are within the business.

These submissions are then sent to a local panel of independent expert judges who mark according to a clear scorecard. The highest scores make up the finalists and ultimately the winners.
