On 29 October, we received our Great Place To Work® 2025 certification, and Clone made the list again. We achieved something incredible this year. 100% of our team said Clone is a great place to work.
Every single person agreed.
What Clone Employees Said About Working Here
Employee surveys reveal what’s happening day-to-day. When we read through the responses, certain themes kept appearing. Culture. People. Trust. Flexibility.
One team member described it as “the best company culture I have ever experienced.”
Another said “everyone genuinely gets along and cares about what they do.”
What Workplace Culture Looks Like
The feedback shows what culture means in practice at Clone.
“A management team that fully supports their employees, with both work and personal factors. A genuine care from everyone to ensure that the job is done.”
“The founders are very open to new ideas and actively encourage team feedback and input. The work-life balance is very good. An ambitious team that wants to grow the business, which will provide opportunities for staff both professionally and personally. Overall, it’s a supportive and collaborative team environment with an exciting future ahead.”
“The people, the work outcomes, the celebrations, the togetherness, the culture.”
How Clone Supports Work-Life Balance
Several team members mentioned flexibility and being able to adjust start and finish times to suit their lives. Others highlighted quarterly business updates and the summer BBQ in the car park.
One person noted the “chill environment but still being able to meet client deadlines.”
Understanding Great Place To Work Certification
Great Place To Work® certification requires meeting strict standards. Their Trust Index© survey examines everything from work-life balance to psychological safety. The data drives the results.
For our team in 2025, the numbers tell a clear story.
- 92% feel encouraged to balance work and personal life
- 90% describe Clone as psychologically and emotionally healthy
- 86% want to stay with Clone long-term
The anonymous comments reveal what those numbers mean in practice.
Employee Ownership Makes Clone Different
Being an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) came up repeatedly in the feedback. One team member explained, “We are an EOT with greater say and profit paid bonuses.”
This structure means our team has a stake in the business. When Clone succeeds, everyone benefits. When we make decisions, we consider how they affect the people doing the work.
“Everyone buys into Clone’s atmosphere, culture and business ethics.”
What Clone Employees Value Most
Getting this certification three years running shows we’re building something sustainable. The feedback shows what people value about working here.
“Team led with a very positive attitude, always striving for excellence in a very happy environment.”
“The community within the company.”
“To be treated fairly, be supported, have job satisfaction.”
The feedback describes what’s happening now, not what we aim for.
Our team makes Clone what it is. Their honest feedback shapes how we work, what we prioritise, and where we’re heading. The 100% score shows what happens when you listen to your people and act on what they tell you.
