Inspiring the world’s Best Places to Work™

26/05/2026

💬 People want to contribute more than just output. They want to be heard.

The 2025 BPTW™ Insights Report shows that when employees have a genuine voice in shaping decisions, engagement deepens. This is not about more surveys or more channels.

It is about visibility.
Do people see their input reflected in decisions?
Do they understand how feedback is used?

When voice is visible, ownership grows. When it isn’t, engagement becomes more transactional.

Creating real channels for influence is one of the simplest ways to strengthen connection and performance. The BPTW™ Survey gives you structured insight into how safe and heard your people feel.

Engagement is not a single state. It builds over time 📊 The BPTW™ Employment Engagement Index shows most employees sit in the middle, engaged but not yet deeply connected or committed.

That middle matters. It is where small improvements in experience can shift people from participation to ownership.

Highly engaged employees are not created through big initiatives. They are shaped through consistent everyday conditions: clarity, trust, connection, and support.

The opportunity for leaders is to understand where their people sit today and what will move them forward.

The BPTW™ Survey provides that visibility. Start here 👉 bestplacestowork.nz/survey

⏳ Two weeks to go. One decision. A whole lot of possibility.

Sharesies. RUSH. House Of Travel. Some of Aotearoa's most inspiring workplaces started exactly where you're standing right now, by deciding their people's voices were worth measuring.

The 2026 BPTW™ Annual Employee Experience Survey must be started by 29 May. It takes your team just 8-10 minutes. What you get back is a dashboard of real insights across our nine pillars of workplace excellence, Trust in Leadership, Wellbeing, Connection to Purpose, and more, plus a national benchmark and your ticket into the BPTW™ Awards.

⚙️ Performance is often shaped by small moments. Not big strategies.

The latest BPTW™ Insights Report showed that when the fundamentals are working, trust, tools, and connection, momentum builds.

When they are not, friction appears. Work slows. Communication becomes harder. Energy drops.

Most organisations are not dealing with major breakdowns. They are managing small points of friction that accumulate over time.

Understanding where those friction points sit is what allows leaders to respond early.
The BPTW™ Survey helps surface what is working well, and where momentum may be quietly slowing.

This isn't just a survey. It's a chance to hear honestly from your team, benchmark against the best workplaces in Aotearoa, and unlock the pathway into the BPTW™ Awards.

Twenty years in, we still believe the same thing: when we share what New Zealand's best workplaces are doing, we float all the boats higher 🛶

📈 There is real progress happening across Aotearoa New Zealand.

The national aggregated insights report from the 2025 BPTW™ Employee Experience Survey shows gains in innovation and wellbeing, alongside pressure in trust, connection, and tools.

This shows that workplaces are improving in some areas while adapting in others.

The opportunity is not to fix everything at once. It is to understand where to focus next. Organisations that continue to listen, reflect, and adjust are the ones that build stronger performance over time.

Because small improvements in how people experience work accumulate into meaningful organisational strength.

The BPTW™ Survey helps you see where to focus next.

Most organisations are in the middle of change 🔄 But not all of them have a clear view of how that change is actually being experienced inside the business.

The latest Best Places to Work™ insights show an interesting tension:
💭 Clarity is improving. But trust, connection, and the day-to-day experience of change are still under pressure.

And one signal stands out above the rest: 70% of employees say their workload is not manageable ⚠️

That’s a reminder that change is not just about strategy. It’s about how people experience it.

🚦 If you want to understand what these signals mean for your organisation, join our free webinar on 23 April with Julie Gill, CEO of BPTW™: bestplacestowork.nz/bptw-insights-report-webinar-23-april

Consistency builds confidence 🔁 But inconsistent leadership creates uncertainty.

The 2025 BPTW™ Insights Report reinforces a simple pattern. When leadership behaviour is predictable, people feel more secure and more willing to contribute.

Consistency is not about perfection, it's about:
📢 clear communication
🤝 reliable follow-through
🎯 aligned decisions

When these are present, trust strengthens naturally. When they are not, even strong strategies can struggle to land.

If leadership experience is one of the most important drivers of performance, then the BPTW™ Survey helps you understand how leadership is experienced across your organisation.

🌱 Sustainability is one of the nine BPTW™ pillars because it connects daily work to long-term environmental, social, and ethical impact.

Yet in the 2025 BPTW™ Employee Experience Survey, fewer than one-third of employees strongly agree that sustainability is embedded into everyday practice within their workplaces.

Employees are asking for:
🌿 Clearer environmental and social goals
🌿 Real integration into workflows
🌿 Visibility of progress and lived values

When sustainability is part of how decisions are made, pride and purpose grow.

The BPTW™ Survey helps you understand how your people see your sustainability actions, and where the gaps are.
