realestate.co.nz has been crowned the number one small/micro workplace in New Zealand, according to Great Place to Work.
The organisation has been recognised as setting the standard for workplace culture and employee experience in Aotearoa.
Earlier this year, realestate.co.nz achieved the official Great Place To Work Certification™ and has now gone one step further, earning a coveted place on the “best” list, recognising 20 organisations that are setting the benchmark for exceptional workplace culture and employee experience across the nation.
Sarah Wood, CEO of realestate.co.nz, says the company’s success is underpinned by its people-first culture and commitment to care.
“We are focused on building a company where people feel their work is truly valued and where they can bring their full selves to work every day.
“Our core values—excellence, growth, and care—underpin everything we do. Care, in particular, has been a cornerstone of this business well before my time as CEO, but over the past six years has become the linchpin of everything we do. I see it in action daily—both in the decisions our leadership team makes and in the way our people support one another.”
Some of the things that make realestate.co.nz a great place to work include:
- Ten additional days of leave per year for people to use as they wish – whether it be ‘life admin’, extra rest, or to spend time with loved ones.
- Fully subsidised health insurance to support physical and mental wellbeing - a cornerstone of the company’s values.
- Individual learning and development budgets empower people to pursue growth opportunities, attend conferences, or upskill in areas that matter to them.
- An annual $20,000 scholarship to support advanced study, work-related passion projects, or transformative development experiences. It’s a way of investing in the team’s big ideas and bold ambitions.
- Team connection opportunities, including exciting company-wide events every quarter
Each company earned its place on the list following a rigorous assessment of confidential employee feedback and a detailed analysis of organisational culture. This data-driven approach ensures the companies recognised are genuinely committed to creating workplaces where people thrive and performance follows.
