How likely are you to get a pay rise this year and what are the factors that will determine how much you get?

From flexible working to additional annual leave and other tangible benefits, these are things to ask for when your salary increase doesn’t meet your expectations.

At Hays, we know that inclusive recruitment and workplace actions are key to attracting and retaining talent and, in this article, we explore practical steps organisations can take to ensure their hiring processes and workplace culture actively support LGBTQIA+ inclusion, and ensure that everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered to thrive.

International Women's Day (IWD) is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Empowerment, calls for action that unlocks equal rights, power and opportunities, and a future where no one is left behind.

The challenges that New Zealand’s organisations must overcome as part of their attraction and retention strategies for 2025.

No budget and the idea that nobody will look at your application over Christmas are just two of the myths we bust in this article about job hunting over the summer break.

Are you missing something missing in your current career? Or are you thinking that a role in an emerging sector might be a better fit for you? With many of us retiring later in life, the prospect of spending decades in an unfulfilling career isn’t a happy one.

And in honour of IDPwD this year, across the Hays Group, we are raising awareness about neurodiversity and how we can remove barriers and ensure a more inclusive environment.

From acquiring new skills to knowing your worth in the New Zealand market, we look at various ways you can progress your career in 2025.

Hays New Zealand is proud to join the movement to strengthen te reo Māori. Driven by Te Rōpū Manaaki, our Māori Inclusion Working Group, we have progressed several initiatives over the last year to embed te reo into the way we work.

As the extreme skills shortage has largely ended, inflation has lessened, and market predictability settles down, productivity has improved. And yet New Zealand’s employers are still cautious about taking risks. Now is the time to act and take advantage of an ambitious and versatile workforce.

At Hays, we’re committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued. In honour of Pride Month, we’d like to take the opportunity to highlight the initiatives we’ve implemented over the past year to support our LGBTQIA+ colleagues, as well as sharing our plans for this year’s Pride Month celebrations.

This National Reconciliation Week, we wanted to take the opportunity to share the progress we’ve made since the launch of our inaugural Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in August last year.

When it comes to mental health in the workplace, who is responsible? We discuss ways employers can provide support and practices for good employee wellbeing.
