For the fifth year in a row the South Taranaki District Council has been named Kenexa Best Workplaces Award as one of the best workplaces in New Zealand.
Last Friday in Auckland the council was inducted into the Kenexa Five Year League Hall of Fame which means the council is now one of just nine organisations in the country with the honour and the only local body.
Council chief executive Craig Stevenson said the result was great news for many reasons.
"Our workforce is more productive, more innovative and more highly committed and these factors result in better service to our citizens."
Also the council attracts high calibre employees, he said.
