In March 2025, kaimahi (staff) were invited to participate in an internal annual survey – Kōrero Mai – to gauge their thoughts on leadership, culture, and performance development. The survey included positively-phrased statements and kaimahi were asked to rate to what extent they agreed with them.
Around 1,550 kaimahi completed the survey or 82% of the organisation, and our overall engagement score remains at 74% consistent with last year’s result.
Overall, the results are positive. They show our people are proud of the mahi we are delivering for the communities of Pōneke and enjoy working at Te Kaunihera. They also show us where we need to focus on to continue our commitment to making Te Kaunihera a great place to work for all our kaimahi. Results also show Wellington City Council scored 9% higher than the local government benchmark of 65%.
