In 2024, our dedication to fostering a workplace our employees take pride in advanced further, with our annual employee engagement survey showing a 67% engagement rate.
This marks a 4% improvement from the previous year and a 6% increase since 2021. Of the employees who participated in the survey (with a 79% response rate), 80% expressed that it is truly a great place to work.
A central element of our workplace strategy has been ensuring that employees feel genuinely comfortable being themselves. Our Diversity and Inclusion action plan, which is integral to our overall strategy, focuses on Culture & Heritage, Accessibility, and Gender & Sexuality.
In 2024, Monash IVF Group achieved silver tier status from the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI), recognizing our progress in fostering an inclusive organizational culture and promoting inclusion among both identifying and non-identifying employees.
Our 2024 initiatives underscore our commitment to being a standout employer in the Private Healthcare sector. We launched an internal mental health peer support program, including Real Conversations for Peers, to enhance the emotional well-being of our employees. We emphasize the significance of mental health and psychological safety by providing peer support champions who offer meaningful connections, enabling our team to care for themselves, each other, and our patients.
Additionally, we are committed to personal and professional development across various technical fields, leadership, and cross-functional areas. Our extensive learning and development strategy continues to evolve in response to our team’s needs and to enable us to remain as an employer of choice.
