Virgin voted Australia’s best boss

Virgin Australia has held off competition to take out the Randstad Award from two-time winner, the ABC.

With half of all Aussies claiming they would like to work for the aviation giant, the award was deservedly presented in front of senior executives from 150 of Australia’s largest employers.

The Randstad recognises the organisations that are perceived as the most attractive places to work in the country, according to over 12,000 Aussies of working age.

Randstad Australia’s CEO Frank Ribuot said Virgin Australia’s title of Australia’s Most Attractive Employer has been a long time coming, after placing in the top three for the last five years.

“The Virgin brand is widely recognised around the world and by people from all walks of life,” he said.

“For the past few years, Virgin Australia has been recognised as one of the best employers in Australia so it’s testament to the company’s continued investment towards building its employer brand that this year it has taken the highest accolade.”

The annual Randstad Award employer branding research sighted Virgin Australia as particularly attractive when it comes to having a pleasant working atmosphere, a good work-life balance and strong management.

And while Qantas came in fifth this year, they did win the Youth Award for being the Most Attractive Employer for the younger generation.

And with Virgin Australia taking the highest accolade and Qantas performing strongly, the Aviation Sector was branded the Most Attractive Sector to work for in the country, with 45% of Australians surveyed saying they would like to work for the Aviation companies.
