We’ve also got something extra for all permanent employees. Here are some of our favourites:
Lifestyle
Our perks offer great discounts for popular retailers and important services. Access to more than 40 discount offers (healthcare, gyms, travel, vehicle maintenance, technology, home renovations, insurance etc.) – this includes a 50% subsidy on the Marram Trust membership providing holiday accommodation and healthcare benefits.
Flexible working
We are committed to creating a dynamic work environment which inspires people and allows them to best integrate work with other important things in their life. We help our people achieve this with flexible working. Depending on your role, we offer a range of flexible working options including flexible hours, part-time arrangements, and flexible locations.
Support for parents In line with our company philosophy to support families, we offer comprehensive return-to-work benefits for those returning from parental leave, including flexible working options (e.g. work four days a week paid five for a 12-week period) and additional financial support.
Volunteering & giving back
One way we support communities is through our paid volunteer day. Many of us are actively involved in sports clubs, schools, local community groups, charities, and environmental causes. The Downer Delights initiative encourages employees to nominate a cause they care about. In 2021, we gave back $50,000 to 30 charities across Aotearoa New Zealand.
