“The awards shine a spotlight on all the awesome mahi that HR professionals are doing and showcases the talent out there on a national scale,” said Jessica Hayes, people and experience specialist at Auckland Transport, winner of the best in-house wellness program at the 2022 awards.
Winners of the HR team of the year in 2022, NZME entered the awards because their culture and performance team were receiving great feedback from internal stakeholders on the range of people initiatives they had implemented. “The nomination process was an opportunity to really reflect on everything that had been achieved and it was so awesome for our small team to receive the recognition,” said Simon Brown, head of culture and performance.
“We are doing great things at eStar to make our workplace one where people come first, are heard and contribute to making eStar a great place to work,” said Amy Berry, business support manager at eStar who won an Employer of Choice excellence award at last year’s awards. “Being recognised for this not only lets us know we are doing a good job but is also a pat on the back for our people and an acknowledgement of their efforts in making eStar a great place to work.”
