Richmond wins a Most Loved Workplace Award for committing to a people-first culture

Richmond has been recognised as a Most Loved Workplace® in 2025 and as one of the Breakthrough Culture Award winners for 2024, highlighting the organisation’s growing reputation as a people‑first employer.

These awards reflect the energy, trust and ambition that shape our culture every day. Here, people are heard, supported and challenged to grow.

To determine the recognitions, assessments considered current and future-focused initiatives, tangible results, and clear, accountable commitments to employee wellbeing and growth. As part of Richmond’s evaluation, in‑depth discussions were held with the Human Resources team and a review of the company’s people strategies, priorities, and culture‑driven plans. Independent analysis is then used to benchmark results against other organisations.

Most Loved Workplaces® recognise "employees don’t just want a job, they want to do meaningful work in a place where they feel valued, connected, and empowered to grow."

These companies understand that maintaining a truly progressive work environment isn't a mere checkbox exercise. It’s a long-term commitment, a promise to every individual that they matter, that they’re more than just their job title.”}‍
