Our people strategy is simple: find the right people, promote from within and grow a passionate, competitive and intelligent team.
My manager is very heavy on giving back to the community when needed. We recently had a dune planting operation, being a yearly event, in which he is always keen to get on board.
Mainfreight is the main sponsor for Harold Education. A key childhood icon growing up in New Zealand who educates young students about safety, bullying and health in a fun and collaborative way. I recently volunteered at our depots annual 'Ideas Day' which involves playing games and creating fun activities for the community of adults with disabilities. Classic car rides, truck rides and cool games, it is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to have fun. Additionally, Mainfreight is a strong supporter of activeness and health. We are a prominent feature in Auckland Round the Bays. All team members receive a free entry into the event and enjoy cold refreshments, a BBQ lunch and DJ at the finish line.
