Creative HQ invites you to begin your journey toward becoming one of New Zealand’s Best Places to Work™

Creative HQ supports individuals and organisations to embrace growth opportunities, bring new ideas to life, and prepare for the future of work. We're thrilled to partner with Best Places to Work™ to launch an innovation leadership programme for the BPTW™ community because we know that organisations that innovate, adapt, and build high-performing workplaces get there through deliberate practice - the right mindset, capabilities and leaders with the energy to drive change.

See your workplace as your people experience it

The Best Places to Work™ Employee Experience Survey provides a safe, confidential way for your people to share honest feedback about work.

More than a score, it provides direction.

It helps you understand what enables performance - and what may be holding it back - so you can act with clarity and confidence.

You will:

  • Identify what is strengthening your culture - and where friction may exist
  • Demonstrate that employee feedback leads to action
  • Access credible data to inform people and business decisions
  • Benchmark against New Zealand organisations and track progress year on year
Simple to run. Significant impact.

As a valued client, you are invited to leverage the BPTW™ Employee Experience Survey to turn employee insight into a strategic advantage

  • 8–10 minute survey across nine drivers of engagement, trust, and sustainable business performance
  • Real-time results delivered via a live dashboard
  • Benchmark insights across New Zealand organisations
  • Up to three additional Pulse Surveys throughout the year to track progress
  • Complimentary 45-minute expert review to prioritise action
Value that grows year after year

Organisations that run the survey consistently report:

  • Clearer leadership conversations
  • Stronger alignment across teams
  • Greater confidence in decision-making
  • Employees who know their voices count

If you are committed to building a workplace where your people can perform at their best, this is one of the most powerful tools you can use.

Insights from the 2025 BPTW™ Employee Experience Survey
  • National aggregated results showed that trust in leadership declined by 3%, even as wellbeing and innovation improved.
  • Small shifts in trust have a disproportionate impact on performance.
  • The organisations that pay attention early are the ones that protect momentum and sustain confidence.
