Best Places to Work Winners
RUSH has just been named Aotearoa's Best Place to Work in the small/medium business category at the 2024 Best Places to Work Awards. This recognition is a testament to the vibrant, innovative, and people-first culture we've cultivated together.
From the moment we were nominated, we knew this journey was about celebrating what makes RUSH truly special. Leading up to the event, we've been sharing our "BPTW Hump Day Highlights" on social media, giving you a glimpse into the heart of our company through the words of our team members. These candid reflections touched on the core elements that define the RUSH experience:
Our unwavering commitment to purpose-driven work. We come to work each day knowing that our efforts are making a tangible difference. Whether we're crafting innovative digital solutions or tackling complex challenges for our clients, there's a palpable sense of purpose that fuels our creativity and drive.
We've fostered an environment where every voice matters, regardless of role or experience level. This culture of open communication and mutual respect empowers our team to speak up, share ideas, and contribute to our collective success. It's this diversity of thought and inclusive approach that sparks our most brilliant innovations.
Our dedication to fostering creativity and pushing boundaries is another hallmark of the RUSH experience. We've created a space where thinking outside the box isn't just encouraged – it's expected. This spirit of innovation permeates everything we do, from our client projects to our internal processes.
But what truly sets RUSH apart is our people. We understand that our greatest asset is our team, and we're committed to supporting each other both professionally and personally. This means creating an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone can thrive and grow.
As our Head of People and Culture so aptly put it, this award belongs to every member of the RUSH team. It's a reflection of the hard work, passion, and dedication that each person brings to the table every day. We may not always have the biggest budgets, and we certainly don't claim to be perfect, but we're united in our commitment to continually improve and make a positive impact.
The judges at Best Places to Work recognised our commitment to innovation, employee wellbeing, and customer satisfaction. They noted how our "Making Better Happen" ethos drives both our internal culture and the work we do for our clients. Our focus on nurturing future leaders in New Zealand's tech sector also caught their attention – a testament to our belief in investing in the next generation of innovators.
As we celebrate this achievement, we're also looking to the future with excitement. This recognition isn't a finish line, but rather a milestone on our ongoing journey. We're more motivated than ever to continue fostering an environment where creativity flourishes and where every team member feels valued.
To our amazing team, both past and present, thank you for making RUSH the incredible place it is. To our clients and partners – thank you for trusting us with your visions and challenges. And to the wider tech community in Aotearoa – we're honoured to be part of such a vibrant, innovative ecosystem.
Here's to making better happen, every single day.
