McInnes Wilson Lawyers has been recognised as an Employer of Choice in The Australian Business Awards (ABA) 2022. In their seventeenth year, the awards are an annual all-encompassing awards program that recognises organisations that demonstrate the core values of business innovation, product innovation, technological achievement and employee engagement via a set of established business and product award categories.
The Australian Business Award for Employer of Choice (EOC®) recognises organisations that develop leading workplaces that maximise the full potential of their workforce through established policies and practices that demonstrate effective employee recruitment, engagement and retention.
Paul Tully, Managing Director of McInnes Wilson Lawyers says the award provides recognition of the organisation’s management practices which have in turn created a culture and work environment where our employees are stimulated to reach their full potential both at work and in their personal lives.
“We are proud to be a firm that encourages all employees to be part of a learning organisation and are committed to enhancing our peoples’ capabilities through the facilitation of various development programs and initiatives. We are also pleased to set the conditions for every employee to have a healthy, mutually supportive work-life balance”, said Mr Tully, Managing Director.
“There has never been a more pertinent time for organisations to transform workplace collaboration, creating new opportunities to innovate and extend their competitive advantage by harnessing the power of people,” said Ms Tara Johnston, Program Director.
“The convergence of work and learning underpins the continual growth of an organisation's capabilities, developing new skills and expertise, improving performance, and building knowledge.
“Fifty-three organisations have been selected for this year's ABA Employer of Choice Awards. Many of these organisations have demonstrated leadership in talent management by reimagining new ways of collaborating and learning that can support and motivate employees at every level of the organisation,” Ms Johnston added.
Participation is open to all private and public companies, multinationals and their subsidiaries, non-government organisations, educational institutions, government departments, government agencies, government authorities and statutory bodies operating in Australia. Participants must demonstrate their achievements across the key areas of Organisational Culture & Leadership; Education, Training & Development; Health, Safety & Satisfaction; Performance, Recognition & Remuneration.

The EOC Framework consists of specialised assessment modules pertaining to the award category. Entries in this category are evaluated utilising the EOC Assessment module.
