2026 Tasmanian Employer of Choice

The 2026 Employer of Choice Recognition Program celebrates Tasmanian organisations that create great places to work.

An Employer of Choice is a workplace with a strong reputation. It attracts and keeps good people because it invests in positive culture, strong leadership and staff wellbeing.

The program is supported by Jobs Tasmania and the Department of State Growth.

If your organisation builds a workplace where people feel valued, supported and included, we encourage you to apply.

Why apply

Being recognised as an Employer of Choice can:

  • give you the edge in attracting new employees
  • strengthen your reputation as a great place to work
  • allow you to use the office Employer of Choice logo in recruitment and marketing
  • connect you will other leading employers through workshops and forums.

Many recognised employers say the program helps them stand out in a competitive labour market.
