Grow and develop your career

We are passionate about building an organisation that values and encourages employees to deliver their very best. We empower our people with opportunities for both personal and professional growth, encouraging continuous learning and development.

Professional development & self-paced learning

Our employees benefit from access to comprehensive development programs, along with specialised technical training. These resources ensure that everyone stays current in their field and feels confident in their roles. Self-paced learning, complemented by share-and-learn sessions and a skills hub, empowers individuals to tailor their career journeys while fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing among peers.

Own Performance and Own Development
Each year, our employees engage in an annual performance review process designed to help them achieve their professional goals. This initiative is aimed at guiding development, encouraging meaningful career conversations, and increasing talent visibility. This approach simplifies how we identify and mobilise talent internally, providing a pathway for personal and professional growth.
Social Impact programs

Since 2011, we have provided a large range of youth, new career pathways, second chance and leadership programs for Māori and Pacific people. In that time, we have had over 700 people come through our MSD-funded programs and nearly 1,000 through our Te Puni Kōkiri programs. More details on this page. More details on this page.
