At Smartly, we work with thousands of Kiwi businesses to simplify payroll, streamline people management, and take the complexity out of compliance. We see every day how the way you manage and support your people shapes engagement, trust, and performance.
Getting payroll right is essential. And building a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to perform at their best is what drives long term success.
That is why Smartly proudly partners with Best Places to Work™.
The organisations that stand out are not just operationally strong. They listen to their people consistently and act on what they learn.
As a valued Smartly customer, you are invited to leverage the BPTW™ Employee Experience Survey to turn employee insight into practical advantage, strengthening culture, leadership, and sustainable performance.

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.

- 8–10 minute survey across nine drivers of engagement, trust, and sustainable business performance
- Real-time results delivered via a live dashboard

- 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:

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.
A recent insight 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.
