Habit Health – Your Employer of Choice 2025!

Habit Health is proud to announce that it has been awarded the 2025 Employer of Choice accolade by HRD, a leading multi-media resource for HR Professionals all over the world. This recognition shows that all the employee-focused initiatives we've put in place are making a difference and helping our team enjoy a fun, rewarding career with us.

When Habit Health was nominated in the 500+ employee category, it reminded us that our EVP (Employee Value Proposition) strategy, is more than just a buzzword. It’s a tangible programme that empowers and provides opportunities to our teams across our network.

With over 120 branches around Aotearoa, where more than 900 clinicians work and build their communities of care, we take seriously our commitment to professional wellbeing and psychological safety. The award takes into account company priorities such as promoting a supportive and collaborative workplace culture with regular social programmes and Friday Treats, incentive programmes, and providing an abundance of development opportunities. It also recognises Habit Health’s active work towards inclusive and sustainable practices. This includes our Toitū carbonreduce certification, Rainbow Tick and Pride Pledge accreditations, graduate programmes, Māori and Pasifika Scholarships and the work of our Ngā Kaihāpai Māori team in advancing Māori health outcomes.

HRD assessed our performance via anonymous surveys to a wide range of our staff across all disciplines. The surveys looked at our initiatives, what employees prioritise and how fulfilled they feel in their roles. It was only the very best nominees who provided their people with real and equitable opportunities, flexibility and growth that made the cut. And Habit Health was right there with them!

From internal mobility programmes where staff can grow into leadership roles to generous bonus schemes, we have ensured our Habit Health teams feel appreciated and, above all, valued in the work they do in a lasting way.

We can’t wait to share with our audiences more about what makes us a top employer and will be sharing snippets of our people and initiatives throughout the year.
