The Voice Project surveyed all of HRI’s staff in October and asked employees to rank HRI’s performance on multiple indicators, such as recruitment, technology, learning and development, recognition, performance feedback, teamwork, supervision, workload, risk reporting, vision and values.
The results were benchmarked against those of other Australian medical research institutes and it was found that HRI outperformed the benchmark by an average of 11 per cent for those questions that had industry benchmarking. In addition, HRI secured an 80 per cent average score for all indicators. These strong results secured HRI the Best Workplace Award 2020, which only 10 per cent of Voice Project’s clients attain.
Voice Project’s core purpose is to improve organisations by giving people a voice and to help organisations improve employee engagement, leadership and service quality through surveying and consulting. Since inception they have given over 3.3 million employees ‘a voice’ and have run over 2,300 consultancy projects with more than 700 clients.
