Nissan scoops staff award

Nissan’s operations here and across the ditch have earned Great Place To Work certification.

The accolade recognises Nissan Motor Company Australia and New Zealand, Nissan Financial Services Australia and NZ, and the Nissan Casting Australia Plant for delivering a rewarding and high-trust culture for its hundreds of employees.

The prestigious award is employee-led, and is earned through a company-wide survey that asks staff to report on culture, diversity, equity, experiences and opportunities.

The surveys are anonymous and only companies with overwhelmingly positive responses can be named an official Great Place To Work.

Nissan is the only car original equipment manufacturer in both countries to receive official certification in 2024.

“Diversity, inclusion and employee engagement is the soul of our business,” says Andrew Humberstone, vice-president and managing director of Nissan Oceania. “The rich blend of cultures, mindsets and talents is something that makes Nissan stronger.

“Our philosophy is simple. All employees should feel safe, respected, included and comfortable in bringing their authentic selves to work. It drives our business forward by unlocking innovation and creativity, exploring new perspectives, and tapping into shared knowledge and skills.

“Earning this certification is hugely important because the feedback comes from our staff directly and anonymously. To know they feel valued and engaged is rewarding.”

Great Place To Work is a global authority on workplace culture and employee experience. Every year, more than 10,000 companies across 60 countries apply to get certified.

“Certification requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice-president of global recognition at Great Place To Work. “It’s evident Nissan stands out as one of the top companies to work for.”
