The certification reinforces Fast Track’s position as a world-class employer, as well as its commitment to providing an exceptional workplace experience for all employees globally. Commenting on this achievement, Chief People Officer at Fast Track Jenny Arnell states;

“Building on last year’s exceptional Trust Index results was no small feat. We understood that maintaining such a high score during our rapid growth presented a real challenge. Since last year, we’ve navigated expected ‘growth’ challenges to our culture and organisation, and we have placed extra effort to keep our focus on our shared vision and values, as well as finding strategies to meet capacity needs. Although we have hired a lot of people and grown the teams significantly, the results remain incredible, highlighting the value return of our commitment to culture, trust, and employee engagement. We’re motivated to keep adapting our culture, maintain open communication, prioritise employee well-being, and focus on customer success while implementing scalable processes for our growing company.”
