Do you work in New Zealand’s best workplace?

The search has begun for the best organisation to work for in New Zealand as the JRA Best Workplaces Survey 2011 officially kicks off this month.

In its 12 years, the survey has become the benchmark for best workplace practices nationwide and is the country’s largest workplace climate/employee engagement survey.

Registrations for this year’s survey are already up on the same time in 2010 and JRA managing director John Robertson says he expects total numbers will exceed last year’s record of 245 participating organisations.

“It’s encouraging to see the increasing number of organisations who are making steps to build great workplaces and are clearly taking employee engagement seriously. Also its great to see just as many new faces entering so far this year as old ones,” he says.

The survey, which invites employees to give valuable feedback on what their organisation is like as a place to work, takes employees just ten minutes to complete and covers aspects of workplace climate including culture and values, common purpose, communication, learning and development, and reward and recognition .

Finalist/winning organisations are recognised and celebrated at a black-tie event in November and featured in a special New Zealand Herald supplement as well as throughout other media. They’ll also enjoy a boost to their employment brands.

Organisations from all industry sectors can register now to participate in the survey, which is available between June 1 and August 31, by visiting www.bestworkplaces.co.nz.
