Cooper Grace Ward is extremely proud to be one of 19 Australian and New Zealand organisations, and the only law firm, accredited as an Aon Hewitt Best Employer for 2013.
The firm received official accreditation on Thursday 30 May 2013 at Aon Hewitt’s ‘Best of the Best’ gala presentation in Sydney, alongside other Best Employers such as Marriott Hotels & Resorts, FedEx Express, Silver Chef, Stihl and Frucor Beverages.
Best Employer accreditation is based upon an exceptionally rigorous qualification process, involving feedback from the organisation’s own workforce as well as thorough analysis of business performance and people practices.
Cooper Grace Ward Managing Partner Chris Ward said the accreditation was wonderful recognition, and testament to the value the firm placed upon a range of factors, including the team, workplace culture, effective leadership, open communication and high performance.
“Being a Best Employer is about leadership and commitment,” he said. “It is about our leaders embracing the strategy and the desired actions, and then living this each and every day.”
Cooper Grace Ward’s ongoing participation in the program is underpinned by the firm’s commitment to achieving high performance for clients.
“If we can understand how to achieve high engagement within our team, the end result of that will be our ability to produce outstanding outcomes for our clients.”
