Scalabrini Communities is honoured once again to be the recipient of the Xref Engages Best Workplace Award for 2025, reflecting its exceptional leadership practices and deeply engaged workforce. 

The Best Workplace Awards celebrate organisations that have achieved exceptional levels of employee engagement and satisfaction as well as demonstrating effective leadership practices and positive workplace cultures. 

Specifically, they acknowledge organisations that give their people a voice, achieve outstanding employee engagement and use feedback to make positive organisational change.

Scalabrini’s achievement of three consecutive Best Workplace Awards since 2023, along with an outstanding employee satisfaction score of 84.2 per cent—well above the 80 per cent benchmark—reflects its unwavering commitment to cultivating a positive and engaging workplace culture.

This recognition further underscores the organisation’s ability to sustain high employee morale and deliver strong, effective leadership, firmly establishing Scalabrini as a leader in workplace excellence and staff retention.  

Commenting on the accolade CEO Richard de Haast said, “We are thrilled to be recognised in this way three years running. This is an outstanding achievement and recognises how the team continuously explore new ways to help our team members feel connected and that they belong in our Scalabrini Communities.

"This resonates deeply with the team as shown by our nine per cent labour turnover compared to the 30 to 40 per cent in the aged care sector.”
