Independent agency Equality Media + Marketing has retained its number one position in the AFR BOSS Best Places to Work rankings, driven in part by its four-day work week.
The Melbourne-based agency, which has allowed staff to work shorter weeks for full pay since 2022, has taken the gold spot in the Media & Marketing category for the third time in four years. It also won the Best Small Organisation category (20–99 employees).
According to the AFR’s assessment, Equality Media + Marketing is also “generous” with extra leave and has managed to reduce unscheduled leave by 17 per cent while staff retention has almost doubled.
