Insurance Business Australia reflects on the noteworthy achievements of the top insurance employers in 2023.

This accolade is reserved for companies that have excelled in creating an environment conducive to employee growth and performance in the Australian and New Zealand insurance industry.

Defining a top employer, industry expert Andrew McKechnie, head of workplace solutions for New Zealand at Mercer, emphasises key attributes:

  • presenting a relatable organisation that aligns with individuals
  • offering a partnership built on trust and transparency, fostering a collaborative atmosphere
  • providing competitive remuneration, benefits, and employee value propositions in a challenging labour market

Identifying the best insurance employers

The methodology employed by IB to identify and acknowledge these top employers involved inviting organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand to participate.

Companies were required to complete an employer form outlining their offerings and practices. Subsequently, employees from nominated companies anonymously evaluated their workplaces using a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) across various metrics, including benefits, compensation, culture, employee development, and commitment to diversity and inclusion.

To secure a spot on the final list, organisations had to achieve a minimum number of employee responses relative to their overall size. Those attaining an 80% or greater average satisfaction rating from employees emerged as the Top Insurance Employers for 2023, standing as exemplars in the industry's commitment to fostering conducive work environments.
