MRWED a Top 10 Australian Employer

The 2009 list of Best Companies to Work for in Australia was recently announced by The Great Place to Work™ Institute and BRW magazine. This year, MRWED Training and Assessment featured in the Top Ten (at number eight) with high profile businesses such as Google (#1) and Russell Investment Services (#3). As a small business owner and one of only five Queensland-based businesses listed in the top 50, it is an honour to be placed so highly. Furthermore, we were proud to have out-gunned big names like Deloitte (#11), Coca Cola (#20) and Yahoo (#21).

Two years ago, we looked at reshaping the business in order to start a transition from a good to a great company. As part of this transition we established the theme of being “reMARCable”. This is an obvious play on words with my own name, but it captured the essence of the journey we were undertaking. We wanted to create remarkable experiences for our students and I wanted to create a remarkable place to work for my staff. I was literally remaking myself as a leader at the same time as we were remaking our business for the better. So, this week’s recognition of the work we have put in, tells us we are in the right direction.

You could just as easily insert your own name to the reMARCable concept. It could be reJEFFable or reMARYable. Although it might not have the same ring to it, you will be making the conscious effort to strive to be the very best you can be. Whether this is in the classroom, in your career development or even with your family, when you move beyond the expected and the ordinary and choose to be remarkable, a world of possibilities will present itself.
