👥 All employees need clear expectations regarding their deliverables, behaviours, and outcomes, along with regular feedback, recognition of their performance, and development opportunities. ⭐️ This is why 'Performance & Growth' is one of the pillars of best practice in the Best Places to Work framework. As we all know, exceptional results come from employees whose individual goals and expectations are aligned with the organisation, who have access to professional development opportunities that support continuous learning, and whose hard work is recognised and celebrated ✨ 🏆 The 2024 BPTW Awards winner for Micro Workplace, Aluro HealthcareNZ, demonstrates that a business can help its team reach their highest potential by prioritising performance and growth. All team members are provided with training opportunities, and internal promotions are actively encouraged 📈 Personalised development plans focus on upskilling and reskilling to support continuous learning and help the company stay ahead of the curve. All team members are encouraged to lead meetings, run internal training, and have the opportunity to view and provide feedback on the company’s financial performance. This is supported by competitive remuneration packages and biannual financial incentives based on the organisation’s success and growth. For a small organisation, such a robust and well-thought-out program for growth and development is truly worth celebrating! #BestPlacesToWork #BPTW #Survey #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeExperience #NinePillars

When people feel supported, they bring clarity, energy, and purpose to their work, driving not only their own growth but the success of the business. I’ll be sharing practical insights on: 💡 How to create sustainable wellbeing initiatives that truly matter. 🚀 Building a workplace where people feel supported to push boundaries and succeed. 📈 How wellness connects directly to team performance and business growth.
