Konica Minolta Australia has received Great Place To Work certification for 2025. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Konica Minolta Australia. This year, 72 percent of employees said it’s a great place to work, which is 12 percent higher than the average Australian company, according to the Great Place To Work 2024 Australia National Employee Engagement Study.
 
Great Place To Work is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention, and increased innovation.

Konica Minolta Australia’s employee experience and culture programs are designed with a clear focus on consultation, authenticity and continual improvement. Its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) committee is employee-led, with members selected through expressions of interest to support broad representation across teams, backgrounds and lived experiences. This group drives grassroots input into key initiatives and plays a central role in shaping the company’s strategic focus across disability inclusion, gender equity, LGBTQIA+ representation and cultural awareness. Its work is complemented by a long-running annual engagement survey, which tracks how employees experience the workplace and identifies where change is most needed. High scores year after year, including consistent results in the DEI category, reinforce the effectiveness of this approach and guide areas for further investment.
 
Stevens said: 'What makes Konica Minolta Australia a Great Place To Work is the way it centers people in everything. Konica Minolta Australia is committed to fostering a culture where everyone can belong and succeed, from progressive workplace policies to inclusive hiring practices and robust internal pathways for career growth. Konica Minolta Australia’s DEI committee unites passionate representatives from across the business to shape initiatives that reflect the company's values, while long-term partnerships with organizations such as atWork Australia help remove barriers and open doors. Konica Minolta Australia is proud to be a workplace where diversity is embraced and where everyone has the chance to make a meaningful contribution.'
 
Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place To Work, said: 'Great Place To Work certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience. By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Konica Minolta Australia stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.'
 
Konica Minolta Australia takes a deliberate and structured approach to implementation, with a calendar of meaningful events and initiatives that are grounded in community relevance and employee priorities. These include awareness and training activities for the International Day of People with Disability, Harmony Week celebrations, and International Women’s Day events that feature voices from charity partners, such as the Breast Cancer Network Australia. Each initiative is designed to reflect the realities of employees’ lives and the diversity within the workforce, creating opportunities for education, connection, and advocacy. The strength of the employee experience stems from both policies and the genuine commitment to inclusion that is embedded throughout the organization’s rhythm and routines.

Additionally, employees at these workplaces are 93 percent more likely to look forward to coming to work and are twice as likely to be paid fairly, earn a fair share of the company’s profits and have a fair chance at promotion.
