DANDENONG, VICTORIA — Volgren has earned Great Place To Work® Certification™ for 2026, recognising the workplace experience and culture created by its people across Australia.
The certification is based entirely on confidential feedback from current employees. 78% per cent of employees said Volgren is a great place to work, compared with 60 per cent at a typical Australian company.
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture and employee experience. Its Certification™ program recognises organisations that create a positive and high-trust workplace, based on the experience reported by their employees.
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work.
“By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that Volgren stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
Volgren CEO Thiago Deiro said the certification recognised the capability, commitment and teamwork of employees across the entire organisation.
“Volgren’s achievements are built on the contribution of our people,” Mr Deiro said.
“This certification is particularly meaningful because it is based on feedback from our employees. It recognises the workplace they help create, the way our teams support one another and the role every person plays in Volgren’s success.
“Whether someone is working on the factory floor, supporting customers, coordinating projects or contributing through an office-based role, they are an important part of what we achieve together.
“As Volgren continues to grow and support Australia’s transition to cleaner public transport, we remain committed to maintaining a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace where people can develop their skills, contribute ideas and build meaningful careers.”
Volgren employs over 550 people across sites and operations in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland.
The certification recognises the collective contribution of employees across the organisation and the culture they help create each day.
From manufacturing and assembly through to engineering, customer support, administration and ongoing fleet service, Volgren’s people play an important role in delivering locally built buses for operators and communities across Australia.
