The role
We have been putting a great deal of effort into making WellingtonNZ a great place to work. Emphatic employee-led design is at the core of what we do within the People and Culture team.
The team's work has been successful. In fact, in two years our engagement score has lifted by 13 percentage points. Over 80% of our team whom completed our last engagement survey, “recommend WellingtonNZ as a great place to work”.
All the work that we have been doing does not make us perfect however! Whilst we continue our work in Engagement, Leadership, Wellbeing amongst other areas we are young in our journey with some areas including Diversity & Inclusion and Talent & Succession Planning. We are looking for someone who can join us to drive this work and manage the People and Culture team. We come eyes wide open to new ideas and strategies. We are ambitious about what we want to achieve.
About you
You will need to continue to shape and guide our People and Culture Journey with an enquiring mind and can-do attitude with a willingness to continue with the foundations we have already. You will be confident and courageous in both your ideas and the decisions you make.
The small People and Culture Team, along with the GM, Business Services that supports them, are fun-loving collaborative business partners who have fresh thinking. At the same time, they don’t lose sight of the two very distinct workforces we have. We would expect you to be the same. With over 200 employees, half being casuals operating within our Venues Wellington business unit, at times you will have to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into the day to day.
We would expect that you have had experience at a level that will allow you to succeed in this role. We would imagine that you come from a generalist background with exposure to the strategic aspects of People and Culture. As we’re early in our journey in some areas, we’re particularly keen to hear from leaders who have had experience driving work in areas of Diversity and Inclusion, and Talent and Succession Planning.
