Simply the best workplaces in Australia - Redux

In 2003 the Business Council of Australia (BCA) commissioned Daryll Hull and Vivienne Read to undertake field work on the “best” workplaces in Australia, as defined by BCA members, using BCA criteria of “excellence” (Hull and Read 2003). This seminal work resulted in the formulation of a framework of fourteen attributes for best workplaces within the Australian work environment. In the decade since this work was published there have been other studies on workplace productivity and workplace leadership in Australia. This article restates and reviews the original BCA research, then opens up additional research topics in the area of excellence in workplace leadership.
