Insight Australia has jumped to 6th on the 2020 Best Places to Work Study, in the 100-999 employees’ category

Sydney, Australia, July 21, 2020 —  Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ:NSIT), has been announced as one of the 2020 Best Places to Work in Australia by Great Place to Work Australia.

The study is conducted based on one of the world’s most comprehensive assessments of workplace culture by Great Place to Work Australia. Insight Australia ranked 6th on the 2020 Best Places to Work study, in the 100-999 employee category.

The benchmark study publication comes amid the COVID-19 crisis, which has upended daily life and business operations throughout the world. The ranking of Australia’s Best Places to Work 2020 is based on data collected prior and during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

“The organisations in the study are leading the way amid the pandemic, demonstrating care for their employees, customers and communities during this challenging time.” Said Zrinka Lovrencic, MD Great Place to Work Australia “The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge facing organisations across the globe, and it puts a premium on being a high trust people-first culture.” “We celebrate the companies that earned places on our 2020 Best Places to Work benchmarking study, and we hope this will inspire more companies to continue maintaining and building trust with their team members.” 

39,156 Australian-based employees from 124 companies participated in the benchmarking study. Over the last 30 years Great Place to Work research confirms every year that employees flourish in  high-trust workplace cultures. Through the 2020 Best Places to Work study process, we have had the opportunity to observe how businesses inspire, invent, and innovate as they introduced new initiatives whilst navigating through this changing landscape. Such balance is particularly important now, as employees and organizations wrestle with health and economic challenges created by COVID-19.  

Marea Phillips, Director People and Culture, Insight APAC, shared, “With 270 talented teammates across Australia, our aim is to have everyone feel that they are a key member of our team and that they are personally contributing to our success. Through the 2,000 recognitions given to our teammates over the last 12 months, we know our team feel very special and experience the great culture that makes Insight a Great Place to Work.”

Mike Morgan, Vice President & Managing Director, Insight APAC, commented, “Our values of Hunger, Heart and Harmony are so much more than plaques on a wall for us at Insight and I truly believe they are at the core of why Insight is a Great Place to Work. 2020 has thrown challenges at our business we couldn’t possibly have planned for, but the work we’ve put in over many years to build trust, empathy and transparency with our teammates has ensured that we are better together, even when we’re physically apart. It’s amazing what smart people can do when you get out of their way, clear any barriers and support them to achieve more than even they realised they could. I’m immensely proud of this recognition and even more so of our team, our culture and our daily commitment to keeping Insight a truly Great Place to Work.”

The 2020 Best Places to Work will be published in a feature insert in the Australian Financial Review, www.greatplacetowork.com.au, www.wrkplus.com, and www.workforthebest.com on Wednesday, 22 July, 2020.
