JRA Best Workplaces Survey Testimonials

Mark Synnott  Managing Director, Colliers International NZ Limited

"Colliers International NZ Limited has participated in the JRA Best Workplaces Survey since 2005 as part of our drive to become a property employer of choice. We have found the survey a very useful tool in identifying areas in which the company can improve our staff motivation. Direct results of the survey have been the implementation of team charters within a number of the teams, formation of a "Best Workplaces" action group and improved staff engagement. We would recommend the JRA survey to any workplace that wants to get serious about improving recruitment and retention."

Jonelle Akers   Manager, People and Development, Overland Footwear

"Our first involvement with the JRA Best Workplaces Survey was back in 2005 when we decided we wanted to not only get valuable feedback from our people but also to see a way we could measure this against other successful companies in New Zealand. We are so pleased that we did as not only have we been a finalist every year, but the survey has given us a valuable tool so that we can continue growing and improving our business. The process is simple and user friendly, this is evident from our response rate of 99.4% for 2008. The JRA team gives you fantastic, friendly ongoing support whenever required. We look forward to many more years of success!"

"We found the JRA Best Workplaces Survey both exciting and informative. The real gem was in the feedback, and what we learned about ourselves. This was brilliant and a wonderful opportunity to identify our strong points, and items to work on.

The process was very simple, with excellent outputs that were both very detailed and timely. I thoroughly recommend this to any company, as you will learn a tremendous amount, with little effort, whilst it is all done in a very professional manner. What have you got to lose?"
