Kenexa Best Workplaces 2012

The Kenexa Best Workplaces Survey will be available from May-August 2012. In the meantime you might be interested in the NZ Workplace Survey.

Kenexa Best Workplaces (formerly known as the ‘JRA Best Workplaces Survey’) is New Zealand’s largest annual workplace climate-employee engagement survey. Run in association with The New Zealand Herald, and supported by the Kenexa High Performance Institute, The Auckland Chamber of Commerce and Kiwibank, the survey allows organisations to gather feedback from employees about their workplace.

What is Kenexa Best Workplaces all about?

• Participating organisations ask their employees to complete a confidential survey about their workplace, and in return receive valuable feedback, through online reports, to identify both positive aspects of your workplace, and those that need work
• Organisations that achieve the best survey results are celebrated as the 'Best Workplaces' in New Zealand - as judged by their own employees
• Your survey results will be completely confidential and secure
• It is New Zealand's most definitive measure of 'employer of choice' and 'best employer' claims
• Your organisation can participate any time from May-August 2012
