Brisbane, Australia. Cook Medical Australia has officially been certified as a Great Place to Work® for 2025, following its first time participating in the certification process.
The recognition is based on confidential employee feedback gathered through the Great Place to Work® survey, which measures trust, culture and overall workplace experience. 80% of employees surveyed said Cook is a great place to work – 20 percentage points higher than the average for a typical company in Australia.
“Our people are the reason we’ve received this recognition,” said John Skinner, general manager and director of Cook Medical Australia. “It reflects the strength of our culture, the trust we place in each other and our shared commitment to improving the lives of patients every day.”
Certification as a Great Place to Work® is regarded globally as a significant achievement, particularly because it is based entirely on the voice of employees. Participation in the program forms part of Cook’s broader commitment to continuously improving the employee experience.
ln recent years, Cook has focused on deepening connections across teams through a range of initiatives focused on communication, recognition programs and employee wellbeing.
“This certification is a reflection of the culture we’ve built over time,” said Skinner. “A great employee culture takes ongoing effort from everyone, and this result gives us a strong foundation to keep building on. It also helps us attract and retain people who share our values and want to contribute to work that makes a real difference.”
