It offers employers crucial insights into the changing preferences and priorities of more than 3,800 Kiwi workers. The study also outlines how these insights can be leveraged to enhance talent attraction and retention strategies, strengthening and diversifying their employer brand.

Randstad New Zealand’s Country Director, Richard Kennedy comments, “Congratulations to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners New Zealand, who was acknowledged as the seventh most attractive employer in 2024.

Randstad Employer Brand Research Insights

According to Randstad’s research, work-life balance (1), attractive salary and benefits (2), and good training (3) remain the key drivers that employees are seeking when choosing where to work.

What makes a jobseeker choose one workplace over another in terms of attractiveness remains largely consistent with last year’s findings. However, the exception has been the emergence of “equity” as a notable newcomer, replacing “strong management” in fourth place. According to Randstad, workers want to work for organisations whose values align with theirs, and in today’s market drivers like equity are now seen as a non-negotiable when seeking a new employer.
