91 per cent of staff recommend The Agency as a great place to work in national engagement survey

National real estate brand The Agency has been recognised as a standout workplace, following the results of its first company-wide engagement survey conducted in partnership with global workplace platform, Culture Amp.

The confidential survey, completed by team members across The Agencyโ€™s 800-strong national business, revealed that 89 per cent of agents and 91 per cent of corporate and property management team members would recommend The Agency as a great place to work.

โ€œThis is one of the strongest signals we can receive as a leadership team, knowing that 9 in 10 of our people nationally would actively recommend working at The Agency,โ€ Executive Director, Andrew Jensen said. 

โ€œIt tells us weโ€™re building a culture that people believe in, and are proud to be part of.โ€

Engagement scores also sat well above industry benchmarks, with agent engagement at 83 per cent, 12 per cent above the benchmark, and corporate and PM engagement at 79 per cent, 8 per cent above the benchmark. 

There was also strong alignment across the business that our people have the information, the autonomy and the knowledge to be successful in their role, with results sitting between 90-95 per cent..

โ€œThe intent to engage Culture Amp was always clear,โ€ Mr Jensen said. 

โ€œWe wanted to invest in this project to benchmark where weโ€™re at as a people business, and understand how we can continue to improve.โ€

The survey was designed to capture honest feedback from both corporate, PM and agent teams, and explore how The Agencyโ€™s culture is being experienced day to day.

โ€œThis wasnโ€™t just a box-ticking exercise,โ€ Mr Jensen said.

โ€œWe genuinely wanted to understand how our people feel about the business, and where we need to improve to better support them.โ€

Culture Ampโ€™s benchmarking tool compares results with similar-sized organisations across professional services and real estate sectors.

โ€œFeedback like this is invaluable,โ€ Mr Jensen said.

โ€œIt tells us weโ€™re on the right path, and that our people feel proud to be part of our business and support where we’re heading.”

The Agencyโ€™s leadership team will now work through the results with staff and agents to identify local focus areas, with a company-wide action plan to follow.

The engagement survey was conducted by Culture Amp in April and May 2025.
