Friday, 8 November 2013
Au Pair Link has been recognised as one of New Zealand's best
workplaces in theKenexa Best Workplaces Survey 2013, and as one of
the country's fastest growing businesses in this year'sDeloitte
Fast 50.
TheKenexa Best WorkplacesAward is based on a survey which asks
employees to rate their workplace on a number of categories,
including job satisfaction, team culture and engagement,
opportunities for career development as well as other
sub-categories. Nearly 39,000 employees from 243
organisations, across both private and public sectors, participated
in 2013.
This year, 43 companies reached finalist status across five
categories; Small, Small-Medium, Medium-Large, Large and Enterprise
- a new category established for the 2013 awards. Au Pair
Link ranked 6th in the Small Business category, a
notable shift from last year's results - where the business ranked
17th.
Au Pair Link's founder, Cecilia Robinson, is rapt with the
result. "It's been a busy year here at Au Pair Link - our
team has grown exponentially since the lastKenexasurvey, and with
that brings a whole range of new situations and challenges for the
business. It's a tribute to our team culture that while we've
grown, we've actually managed to significantly build on last year's
results."
Testament to the growth of the company is their recent placing
in the Deloitte Fast 50. Placing 44th, the award
ranks businesses according to their revenue growth over the past
three years, and sets the benchmark for high growth business in New
Zealand.
"We've definitely had our work cut out for us over the past
year," says Robinson, "the Early Childhood Education industry is
always changing, and coupled with the challenge of sourcing high
quality educators from overseas, our placing in the Fast 50 is
definitely a sign Au Pair Link is headed in the right direction -
we're really pleased."
