Fourteen out of 25 firms this year new to list
LinkedIn has unveiled the eighth iteration of its Top Companies List, spotlighting 25 top employers in Australia for career growth.
Cayla Dengate, LinkedIn Career Expert and Senior News Editor, said this year's companies demonstrate that investing in employee experience is critical in today's employment landscape.
Whether it's launching learning initiatives, such as upskilling their staff in artificial intelligence, or flexible work arrangements, companies that are at the forefront in these areas not only attract but also retain workers in our rapidly evolving workplaces, Dengate said in a statement.
Placing on top of this year's list is the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA).
John Hancock, CBA's Head of Talent Acquisition, said they offer a variety of benefits, such as five days’ Life Leave, menopausal and menstrual leave, up to $1,000 of CBA shares each year, pet leave, as well as access to over 500 staff deals on a huge range of products and services, among others.
What sets CommBank apart is its commitment to building a brighter future for all, including our nearly 48,000 people, Hancock said. Providing them with a huge range of benefits so they can live their best life and do their best work.

Fourteen out of the top 25 firms this year are new to the list, according to Dengate, who said this was indication that there is growing focus among organisations to build long-term success.
And with the skills needed for a job in Australia set to change by 66% by 2030 due to the impact of technologies like AI, it's now more critical than ever that companies invest in their people's growth and enhance their skills, Dengate said.
LinkedIn said it assessed organisations based on eight pillars that contribute to career progression, such as ability to advance, skills growth, company stability, external opportunity, company affinity, gender diversity, educational background, and employee presence in the country.
