Auckland Business Awards: Royal Wolf - Auckland T T Karen Phelps REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Being crowned the ‘Employer of the Year’ for the South & East region in the 2023 Auckland Business Awards was an accolade that recognised Royal Wolf’s outstanding achievements in recruitment, retention, employee development and overall workplace satisfaction. New Zealand District Manager Graham Allison says the company is continuing to build on this area including recently introducing an annual wellness day for employees. “This gives every employee an additional day of leave each year to spend on fostering their wellness,” says Graham. “This might mean using the day for an annual medical check up, a mental health day, or simply a day of relaxation through health and beauty treatments,” he says. Royal Wolf, an industry leader in the hire, sale, and modification of shipping containers, boasts a rich history spanning 27 years in New Zealand. With three branches in Auckland and a total of 14 customer service centres across the country, the company has established itself as a cornerstone in various industries, from infrastructure and construction to retail and agri-business. At the heart of Royal Wolf’s success lies its people-centric approach. Graham emphasises the company’s mission to recruit and retain the best talent. “It’s all about our customers, and having the right employees to work with them is key,” he says. The company’s robust recruitment and retention strategies include regular employee engagement surveys and tailored development programs. These initiatives have not only fostered a highly engaged workforce but have also facilitated internal promotions and career growth opportunities. One such success story is Graham himself, who joined Royal Wolf in 2010 as a sales executive and has since risen through the ranks to become New Zealand Manager. He says his journey exemplifies Royal Wolf’s commitment to nurturing talent and providing a platform for career advancement. In addition to investing in employee development, Royal Wolf prioritizes the well being of its workforce. The company’s Safety First and Passion for People pillars underscore its dedication to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive work environment. Regular safety huddles, mental health initiatives and employee assistance programs reflect the company’s holistic approach to employee welfare. Furthermore, Royal Wolf’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is evident through the establishment of employee resource groups and initiatives to promote gender equality and support the LGBTIQ+ community. The company’s exemplary practices extend beyond its internal operations to its broader impact on society and the environment. Through partnerships with community organizations and initiatives such as Save the Kiwi and Kai Ika, Royal Wolf demonstrates its commitment to corporate social responsibility. Moreover, Royal Wolf’s innovative products, such as the Site Hub, underscore its dedication to sustainability and addressing evolving customer needs. As Royal Wolf continues to push the boundaries of shipping container design and sustainability, its recognition as the ‘Employer of the Year’ serves as a testament to its unwavering commitment to its employees, customers, and the wider community, says Graham. “With a strong foundation built on values of excellence, innovation, and inclusivity, Royal Wolf is poised for continued success in shaping the future of container solutions in New Zealand and beyond.” “It’s all about our customers, and having the right employees to work with them is key.” INSUTECH The Insulated Panel People Proudly Supporting Royal Wolf - Auckland Offices | Sleepouts | Lunchrooms | Storage Units Self Contained Units | Coolrooms | Freezer Rooms | Laboratory Fit Outs www.insutech.co.nz info@insutech.co.nz 021 223 3608 ANY LIFT, ANYWHERE, ANY TIME We offer a diverse fleet ranging from 2T to 450T universalcranes.co.nz WAIKATO Ph: 07 849 3846 Address: 86 Sunshine Ave, Te Rapa, Hamilton Email: enquiries@universalcranes.co.nz AUCKLAND Ph: 09 277 2227 Address: 12 Langley Rd, Wiri, Auckland Email: enquiries@universalcranes.co.nz 0800 PAINT IT (724 684) - orders@propaints.co.nz | protectivepaints.co.nz At Protective Paints, we go above and beyond for our customers, while supplying quality products at great prices.
