New Zealand Workplace Survey Testimonials

Greg Liddington  Human Resources Director, Smith&Smith

"Our search for a new engagement and climate survey was critical for us getting real traction in our plans to become an Employer of Choice. For our business, JRA was a clear leader in every respect. Pivotal to our decision was that it’s NZ based and benchmarked against NZ businesses. The fully optioned New Zealand Workplace Survey gave our managers relevant data to build their individual action plans. The speed and convenience of completing the survey online almost doubled our participation rate and the flexibility of real time; online reporting is an added bonus. From our first contact with JRA to the Directors’ Key Driver presentation, the team at JRA has been fantastic - available, knowledgeable, practical, patient, and friendly. Real people."

Melissa Anderson   HR Project Manager - Talent Development and Engagement, The Warehouse

"When we embarked on the journey to find a new provider for our engagement survey, we looked at 5 or 6 options and researched them fully. JRA was the clear winner taking into consideration a range of criteria including cost, online capability flexibility, Engagement survey offering and functionality, provision of NZ benchmarking data and being based in NZ, not to mention the fact they were a down to earth team who we knew immediately we could work with. Two years into the working relationship and I can't fault JRA on any level; they have been exceptional and have exceeded all our expectations. And our managers really value the online access to results, functionality of the reporting and the speed at which the results are delivered."

Tim Kendall    Organisational Development Team Leader, Te Puni Kokiri

"Te Puni Kokiri chose JRA when we wanted to survey our staff, because of their competitive price, excellent on-line “live” reporting and because JRA were the only potential supplier that offered their survey in Te Reo Maori (the Maori language). The service we have received from JRA has been excellent. It is easier to do business with a New Zealand company that has an understanding of the local work environment, a comprehensive database of survey results that makes benchmarking meaningful and an appreciation of the importance of the Maori language to this organisation."

Carol O'Brien   Human Resources Manager, Sanitarium Health Food Company

"The instant, online delivery of our survey reports from JRA has been fantastic, particularly the ability to drill down into our various departments and view and compare their results. Our key driver report gave us a better understanding of what drives the engagement levels of our people, and gave our post-survey initiatives better focus. Thanks to the JRA team for their support!"

Jeanette Nowell  Human Resources Advisor, Vero Insurance New Zealand

"JRA provide the most relevant employee engagement survey, giving both comparative data and also reliable insights into areas to celebrate and areas to focus our people improvement projects. The service JRA provide us is supportive, with a good balance of professionalism and personal touch. They are always happy to help and there is no question too small."

Richard Fitzgerald   Manager Human Resources, Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority

"The Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority has been participating in the JRA New Zealand Workplace Survey for a number of years and together with the 360 degree appraisal tool we have found these to be effective resources in assisting with a range of organisational development initiatives. These resources have been progressively improved and the benchmarking data provides an effective framework for communicating comparative data to staff and identifying development initiatives for the organisation. At a management level we have found the JRA resources beneficial in developing an improved understanding of the impact of leadership behaviours on organisational culture and performance."
