[18/09/25] Southland Filtration is delighted to announce we have achieved a 96% Great Place to Work® score, outperforming both the Australian Best Places to Work average of 85% and the World’s Best Workplaces average of 90%. 

Great Place to Work® (GPTW) is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and leadership behaviours that drive business performance. Certification is based entirely on direct employee responses, measured against international benchmarks for trust, pride, and camaraderie. 

“This result is not just a measure of satisfaction; it’s a celebration of our people,” said CEO Matt Cox. “The survey shows that Southland is a place where trust, collaboration, and camaraderie flourish, and where people feel supported, appreciated, and inspired to do their best work.” 

High-trust workplaces consistently outperform their peers, reporting stronger productivity, higher employee retention, and better financial outcomes. Our 96% score highlights a culture that fuels innovation, strengthens collaboration, and delivers outstanding results for customers. 

We turn insights from the GPTW Trust Index™ survey into action, co-creating programs with our people to keep Southland evolving. Initiatives such as Birthday Day Off, Cheers for Peers, Growth by Sharing, and Employee of the Month recognition strengthen connection, celebrate contributions, and support wellbeing across the business. 

Southland is committed to building on this momentum. We will continue turning employee insights into action, strengthening our culture and shaping new opportunities for every person across every role and location. Our goal is clear: to ensure every member of our team feels supported, empowered, and motivated to perform at their best every day.
