Specsavers has been recognised as one of New Zealand’s Best Workplaces ranking second on a list for medium to large businesses for 2025.
Great Place to Work, a global authority on workplace culture, revealed the inaugural list of New Zealand’s Best Workplaces for 2025, recognising organisations that are setting the benchmark for exceptional workplace culture and employee experience across the nation.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our culture and the commitment of our Partners and our people,” said Mr Paul Bott, Specsavers managing director ANZ. “It’s a powerful endorsement of our vision to build a business where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work – because when our teams thrive, our customers benefit.”
Bott said being recognised was a powerful affirmation of the Specsavers culture, and it had a ripple effect across the business.
“This recognition as a Great Place to Work reinforces what we’ve always believed – that our people are at the heart of everything we do,” he said. “From our regional stores to our support teams, it’s their passion and collaboration that make Specsavers a truly special place to work. It’s a proud moment, and a motivating one too.”
Specsavers has more than 60 stores across New Zealand and said, in a media release, that it was proud to be a trusted name in eye and hearing care, helping millions of Kiwis see and hear better every year.
The company’s investment in its teams was matched by its commitment to innovation, data- driven care, and improving health outcomes across New Zealand, it said.
The Best Workplaces in New Zealand List celebrates organisations that create environments where employees feel genuinely valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their best work.
Each company earns its place through rigorous analysis of confidential employee feedback and organisational culture. This data-driven approach ensures the companies recognised are genuinely committed to creating workplaces where people thrive and performance follows.
“The 2025 Best Workplaces in New Zealand list represents organisations that understand culture is their greatest strategic asset,” said Ms Rebecca Moulynox, general manager of Great Place to Work ANZ.
“These companies have proven that when you build a workplace founded on trust, pride and camaraderie, you create the conditions for both employee flourishing and exceptional business performance.”
