Wellbeing - of people and planet - is central to the way we do business. We harness the creativity and potential of our people to help create sustainable, thriving places that Kiwis love to live in.
At Woods, we think of ourselves as a ‘family of families’. Our people and their wellbeing are at the core of who we are, and we’re proud of our team and the culture we have built together. We work hard to ensure our employees enjoy working for us and focus on making sure we have a safe, fair, and inclusive workplace. We were honoured to receive the Aon Hewitt Best Employer Award in 2017 and 2018, and the Consulting Surveyors NZ Employer Excellence Award in 2024.
