Give your people a voice with a tailored Xref Engage survey.
Increase retention and reduce turnover with quick employee feedback from an Xref Pulse Survey.
With winter behind us, it’s great to see the organisations who won Xref Engage Awards in July, August and September 2024 heating it up in the workplace.
Our proud winners have been using this time to attain outstanding levels of employee engagement and satisfaction or to accomplish significant improvements in the workplace to positively impact organisational performance.
There are two types of Xref Engage Awards
The Best Workplace Awards recognise organisations that have achieved exceptional levels of employee engagement and satisfaction and demonstrated effective management practices.
The Change Champion Awards recognise organisations that achieve exceptional improvements in work practices and employee engagement over time. Change Champions lead initiatives that create measurable and meaningful change in the workplace.
Let’s meet our winners now!
Our winners of the Best Workplace Awards for Employee Engagement in July 2024 were:
These exceptional organisations have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture.
A clear theme among all this month's winners is that they care for people, and this translates not just into their client base but also into their employees.
What Wanada said about their win:
“We're pleased to be recognised with a Best Workplace Award for Employee Engagement. WANADA surveys the team to learn more about how we can improve employee engagement and it’s good to know we have a solid foundation on which to build.”
These organisations have gone above and beyond to improve engagement and create inclusive workplace cultures.
These organisations are celebrating because they have shown significant improvement in their employee engagement survey scores compared to their previous survey.
Change Champions are on a journey of growth and transformation.
What Knox Grammar said about their win:
“Feedback from our recent surveys conducted through Xref Engage has shown a remarkable improvement in our overall employee wellbeing. Specifically, our change scores indicate an impressive 8.4% improvement. Being part of this exclusive group highlights our ongoing commitment to enhancing the experience of our staff and underscores the effectiveness of our initiatives.”
We commend these organisations for their dedication to continuous improvement and their commitment to enhancing the employee experience. Their efforts have truly made a difference!
This month we are excited to announce we have a dual Xref Engage Award winner!
The Front Project is a national enterprise working to create positive change in Australia's early childhood education system. The Front Project is a winning organisation because they have made strides to create an exceptional workplace.
It’s fantastic to see organisations in positions of caring and trust are ensuring that these values extend not only to their patients but to their employees too.
A careful selection process measures how eligible organisations have accomplished significant improvements or attained outstanding levels of employee engagement and satisfaction.
When selecting a Best Workplace, the Xref Engage team seek organisations that have first run an Employee Engagement Survey using Xref Engage. When the results of the survey are finalised, organisations must achieve a staff satisfaction score of over 80% or outperform the industry benchmark by 10% or more.
Change Champions must run two or more Employee Engagement Surveys through Xref Engage. The results of each survey are compared, and those with the most positive improvement (as per the categories below) are awarded a Change Champion award.
After running another Employee Engagement Survey and implementing actionable insights, winners are selected based on how much employee engagement has positively increased.
Winners of Change Champion Awards are selected within three categories:
Ultimately, for organisations that win the awards, a key step is to seek employee feedback through an Employee Engagement Survey. Then, award-winning organisations review employee feedback, measure employee engagement and, where possible, implement strategies for change to improve company culture and the work environment.
Our expert team of Workplace Psychologists can show you how to get the best results for your employee engagement survey by encouraging employees to respond to your survey and give their feedback.
An organisational culture of feedback creates an environment where employees feel their voice is heard. This fosters a sense of belonging and can lead to increased employee performance.

Dr Peter Langford, General Manager, Xref Engage shared his thoughts about the winners.
“We’re always impressed and proud to see our clients improve and achieve high levels of employee engagement and work practices. Xref’s Change Champion Awards and Best Workplace Awards provide recognition and celebration for all the tremendous work that goes on behind the scenes to create great workplaces.”
Conducting an Employee Engagement Survey helps your organisation uncover areas that may benefit from an action plan for improvements. A key step in creating a culture of improvement is to effectively communicate the results of your survey and gradually address any pain points.
With gradual changes over time and a strong employee engagement strategy, your employees understand that you are working towards cultivating and maintaining a high performing team company-wide, with employee satisfaction and wellbeing in mind.
