Harcourts were winners in the 2025 The Australian Best Places to Work.

Testimonial from Mitch Green, Head of People and Culture, Harcourts.
“Being named one of WorkL’s 2025 Australian Best Places to Work is an incredible honour and a moment of real pride for all of us at Harcourts. The entry process was seamless and insightful, giving us the chance to reflect on what makes our culture special and to listen carefully to the feedback from our people. The WorkL survey offered valuable insights into where we’re thriving and how we can continue to evolve as an employer of choice.
At Harcourts, our people have always been at the heart of everything we do. What truly sets us apart is the way we support one another, celebrate each other’s successes, and create an environment where everyone feels empowered to grow. This recognition is a testament to that shared commitment — it belongs to every person across our team who contributes to making Harcourts such a great place to work.
Since receiving the award, we’ve noticed a genuine boost in both pride and engagement within our teams. We celebrated the achievement with local morning teas across our offices, taking the time to thank everyone for the role they play in shaping our culture. We’ve also proudly shared our recognition in our job advertisements, which has already helped us attract talented people who are drawn to our values and positive workplace culture.
The insights from the WorkL survey have also guided new initiatives to further strengthen our employee experience, with a continued focus on wellbeing, communication, and recognition.
This award is an incredible acknowledgement of who we are — but more importantly, it inspires us to keep raising the bar and continue building a workplace where every team member feels valued, supported, and proud to be part of Harcourts.“
