Olympus Australia and New Zealand Reviews

Thank you for your positive and detailed review. It’s great to hear our commitment to flexible work and striking an appropriate work-life balance, coupled with a great team environment and manager, has provided you with such a positive experience. In addition, our ability to provide job security for our staff during the COVID-19 pandemic is something our entire organisation is both extremely grateful and proud of. We firmly believe that timely communication forms a key part of successfully overcoming this unprecedented period. As you pointed out, there is rapid and positive change occurring and key to our approach to the ongoing improvement of our systems is to embed a continuous improvement culture. We have come a long way and are confident we will achieve sustainable gains that ultimately improve both the customer and employee experience. Thanks again. We’re proud you’re part of team Olympus too!

Thank you for your positive review. There’s really not much more we can add! We’re really proud of how we’ve been able to sustain our business and our staff’s employment through the COVID-19 pandemic and as you may be aware, the pandemic has helped showcase just how far our systems and processes have come as the majority of our workforce has successfully worked remotely. However, we acknowledge there is still significant room for improvement. As you pointed out, we’re working on it and by embedding a continuous improvement culture, we’re confident we’ll get there. We hope you continue enjoying your time at Olympus!

It’s great to see you’ve been at Olympus for some time, and we’re appreciative of you finding a moment to leave a review too! As we work towards our goal of being a truly global MedTech company, we anticipate our staff will be able to connect more with the greater Olympus community across shores, complementing the local community feel you touched upon which serves as a source of pride for our organisation. We’re certainly evolving and find ourselves approximately halfway in our three-year business transformation program. To date, we’ve seen some great results from the program as we strive to never be the cause of our customers’ downtime. However, we acknowledge that our journey of continuous improvement is ongoing and there’s much more left to deliver on to ensure we’re able to better serve our customers and staff. It’s great you’re enjoying your time here and have a short commute, we hope you continue to have a fulfilling work-life at Olympus!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive review! We’ve grown rapidly in Australia and New Zealand over the more than two decades we’ve been operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Olympus Corporation, and despite this period of large growth, it’s wonderful to hear that you’ve experienced a family-like culture during your time here. We’ve had similar feedback from other staff over the years, and it’s certainly feedback which makes us proud. Part of delivering on our vision for our staff to “Choose Olympus for Life” involves continuously improving our workplace offering, with workplace flexibility options including working from home, flexible work hours, dress for your day, community service leave, purchased leave and summer leave, playing a significant role in making Olympus a great place to work. It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying some of these initiatives! We’ve also updated three of our corporate offices in recent years with another two offices scheduled to be updated in the short-to-medium term. Finally, as you touched upon regarding bottlenecks present within our business, our dedicated Business Transformation program is continuing to deliver significant positive changes in this space as we strive to never be the cause of our customers’ downtime, and we’ve seen some fantastic outcomes to date. However, we acknowledge that our journey of continuous improvement is ongoing and there’s much more left to deliver on.

Thank you for your positive review! We’re pleased to hear that you had a positive experience in transitioning from full time to part time work post returning from your maternity leave. Supporting our staff through significant family events is an ongoing and evolving area of opportunity for our organisation, so we take encouragement from your feedback. It’s also great to hear that you’ve found the dress for your day initiative to have been particularly impactful.

Finally, thank you for also sharing your experience within your specific team. Having a great team culture and dynamic is vital to helping achieve our vision, as is a constant funnel of employee recognition. Whether it be formal via channels such as our online Shining Stars platform or our quarterly and annual awards programs, or simply telling a colleague informally they’ve done a great job, providing timely recognition is a practice we encourage our staff to regularly review and undertake.

Thank you for your positive review and congratulations on a long and successful tenure within Olympus! It’s great to hear about the opportunities you’ve been afforded in our organisation and that you’ve enjoyed the employee benefits on offer whilst taking pride in our corporate social responsibility efforts.

We hope you enjoyed your overseas business trips and found them valuable!

Thank you for your positive and detailed review, it’s really encouraging to see this sort of feedback from a current employee.

Finally, we’re pleased to also see you mention the notion of becoming more agile as an organisation. You may be aware that “Agility” now forms one of our global core values and is a value which we’ve committed to embedding within the organisation over the short-to-medium term. We feel that in time, as we become more agile, the barriers we face internally around adapting to change with speed will start to break down as we gradually transition to a new way of working.

We also appreciate your insight into career opportunities at Olympus. Whilst we don’t always have positions vacant, we’ve had many internal transfers and promotions in the past 12 and we are always looking for ways to provide career and professional development to our people. Your feedback regarding increased communication regarding the internal change processes has been noted and will be forwarded to the relevant business leaders. Thanks for your candor. Finally, we are seeing some fantastic outcomes from the continuous improvements we’ve made to our systems and processes over the years with our dedicated Business Transformation program continuing to deliver significant positive change across a number of areas. We anticipate our transformation program will really start delivering large scale outcomes throughout the next 12-18 months.
