NAB named best workplace

Docklands is home to Australia’s top-performing workplace.

NAB’s 700 Bourke St headquarters received the accolade last month following a survey by Sydney University and the University of Technology, Sydney.

The Building Occupant Satisfaction Survey Australia (BOSSA) measured 60 Australian building’s overall performance from the occupants’ perspectives.

Employees were asked to rate their satisfaction in terms of the building’s air quality, comfort, noise, temperature, connection to the outdoor and its effect on their health and productivity.

700 Bourke St rated number one across nine categories in the survey, according to NAB’s people, communications and governance executive Michaela Healey.

“We’re delighted that we are supporting NAB’s employees to work more collaboratively and flexibly, with greater focus and with stronger performance and wellbeing outcomes,” she said.

Sydney University architectural science lecturer Christhina Candido said the NAB headquarters topped nine out of 13 Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) indicators.

“The results from the occupant survey conducted at 700 Bourke St are without doubt remarkable,” she said.

NAB’s 700 Bourke St headquarters opened in mid-2013, achieving a six Green Star rating and his home to more than 6000 employees.
