Z isn't just a fuel company, it's a Kiwi company with a distinct personality. We are here to keep our communities and whānau moving. Z is for NZ.
Every manager I have had has been incredibly kind, accessible, and has made me feel very welcome in their team. As a graduate, it is easy to seek feedback from managers, and they can often become great mentors and people to learn from. I feel that I receive sufficient recognition for my work and am also able to ask my managers for feedback on my own performance and development, which I think is very important.
The managers at Z Energy are very approachable and accessible. Throughout my rotations, I've always felt comfortable asking questions, seeking advice, or discussing ideas, regardless of how busy they are. As a graduate, I've received a great deal of support from my people leaders, mentor's other employees within teams. Who have taken the time to provide guidance, give advice, regular feedback, and coaching to help me develop. Performance feedback is constructive and focused on growth, with managers recognising achievements while also providing practical advice on areas for improvement. Internal communication is open and transparent, and the open plan office makes it easy to connect with both managers and senior leaders. Overall, I've found the leadership team to be supportive, invested in graduate development, and genuinely committed to helping employees succeed.
My managers have been easily accessible and available during my time so far and are always up for a quick or long chat. They put in effort to have either weekly or fortnightly formal catch ups as well and the many informal conversations on a day-to-day level. My managers and mentors provide availability allows me to feel supported in my ability to go to them when I have any questions or concerns. They provide praise for when completing a task to the desired level, while also providing feedback about the task done whether it was perfect or about what could be improved for next time.
