ABC voted Australia’s most attractive employer

ABCPublic broadcaster the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has been voted Australia’s most attractive employer in the annual Ranstad Awards.

The ABC has this year beaten out the likes of Virgin Australia and BAE systems after finishing second a year ago.

“Winning the Randstad Award this year, following a strong result last year, means the ABC can confidently lay claim to being Australia’s most attractive employer,” said Deb Loveridge, managing director Randstad Asia Pacific.

Channel Seven also performed well taking out fourth place in the awards. This is the first time the television network has made the award’s top 20 list.

Many of Australia’s leading brands also made the list of most attractive employers. Among those included are: Qantas,  Coca-Cola Amatil, Nestle, Lion and Westfield.

This is the first time the Federal Government departments were included with the Department of Immigration & Citizenship taking out sixth place, the Department of Health & Ageing seventh while the Department of Defence  and Australia Post took out eleventh and twelfth place respectively.

“With people increasingly looking for employers who will reward their efforts and contribution to the organisation, being viewed as an employer who cares for and invests in their people has never been more important to secure and retain top talent in the years ahead,” said Loveridge.

“The stakes for organisations in Australia are high. The market is becoming more and more competitive and people won’t wait around if there is a more attractive option available to them.”
