I am pretty chuffed this morning! How good to open your emails to the news that Z Energy NZ is a finalist in the New Zealand Association of Graduate Employers (NZAGE) awards for Best Candidate Experience!! The Best Candidate Experience category recognises excellence in the candidate experience during the recruitment process. So proud of our work in this area and keeping our candidates at the heart of our process! Big thanks to the team at Z that put so much mahi into our Grad program. It is only our second year of having a Grad programme at Z so am very flattered to be included alongside some great employers. Congratulations to Auckland Council, KiwiRail, Suncorp Group and WSP! #graduate #nzageawards #workatzenergy #zisfornz

What a line up! 🌟   Thank you to our panellists, our very own Haley Mortimer, Billie Moore from NZ Airports Association, Amelia Rentzios from Hiringa Energy and facilitator Pattrick Smellie for an insightful session focused on the essential role of collaboration in the energy sector.   It was an opportunity to dig deep into why ‘radical collaboration’ between business, government and customers is needed to meet shared goals and objectives.   The session was the final event in our Energy Leaders Series with BusinessNZ Energy Council for 2024, wrapping up many thought-provoking and engaging conversations. Thank you to all who attended these events throughout the year!

Safety and wellbeing is an important stand for Z Energy NZ. And we know standing for big things is how we begin to solve them. Aotearoa New Zealand has a poor track record of health and safety performance, and we need greater collaboration to tackle this issue. That is why I am proud to see Z’s name alongside 60 other leading New Zealand companies calling on the Government to radically improve how it supports businesses to manage health and safety risks. Our submission presents six recommendations for the Government to provide businesses with greater clarity for managing risks and better alignment between key government agencies.

Do you know the signs of a stroke?   Today marks World Stroke Day for 2024, an initiative focused on driving awareness and encouraging people to get active to reduce the risk of a stroke.   It’s important to be aware of the signs of a stroke, with the F.A.S.T acronym being a helpful tool to remember what to look out for:     F for face - check their face, has their mouth drooped? A for arms - can they lift both arms? S for speech - is their speech slurred, do they understand you? And T for time - time is critical, call 111 immediately.   Z Merrilands team member Emma recently recognised a customer exhibiting some of these signs and her fast actions helped save his life.   We’re so proud of Emma for her quick-thinking efforts 👏 https://lnkd.in/gxgN3fnx

You would think that giving away money was easy. Afterall, we've been doing it for over 10 years. But with 26,000 charities in Aotearoa and an increasing need for services, we have challenged ourselves to continually improve how we give and who we give to. Community is part of Tō Tātau Pūtake Our Why and supporting local charities is an important part of how we live that commitment. I'm incredibly proud of the longstanding impact we make through Good In The Hood, but also through new initiatives such as our partnership with Dave Letele (Good In The Hood Ambassador) and the Regional Boost. The increasing diversity of groups supported is testament to being better connected to what matters most at a local level. Haley Strickland Haley Mortimer Z Energy NZ #CommunityStand #ZisforAotearoa

Ever wondered about the role of data in supporting EV fleet transition? 👩💻   This week at the New Zealand Electromobility Summit & Expo, our very own Rebecca Wilson (she/her) talked to the importance of leveraging data insights to support an informed EV fleet transition.   The presentation included a focus on the need for understanding factors like mileage, route types, load capacity when deciding on which vehicles are best suited for electrification.   Thanks to all of those who attended and the other sponsors of the event.
