Auckland, 4 November 2016 – AA Insurance has won, for the first time since 2011, the Large Workplace category (400-750 employees) of the IBM Kenexa Best Workplaces Awards.
“This award recognises the amazing people we have at AA Insurance and the collective passion we share to help our customers,” says Nikki Howell, Head of People and Capability, AA Insurance. “It’s also shown our consistency over the past nine years that we’ve been a finalist, which tells me we’re getting things right.”
“We’re grateful to our people for the time they take with these surveys; we use them to take the company’s temperature and have made significant improvements over the years around the business based on their feedback.”
The awards are based on employee ratings in a confidential online survey. This year over 36,000 employees from 210 New Zealand organisations in the private and public sectors participated in the survey. Fifty workplaces were selected as finalists, 29 of which were new entries. AA Insurance’s 650 plus employees graded their workplace and employers across key categories including leadership, culture, recognition and engagement.
