The BPTW programme is built around a framework of 9 pillars of best practice and excellence 📊 The first pillar, 'Connection to Purpose', looks at the sense of connection the team has to the organisational purpose, and strategy. When a culture of meaningful engagement and shared purpose is reinforced, the team will typically reflect the organisational values in daily actions, resulting in a positive impact on customers, communities, the environment, and of course, the team itself. ✨ 2024 BPTW Awards finalist, Partly, exemplifies true 'Connection to Purpose' by creating a culture that is deeply aligned with its mission: 'to connect the world’s parts.' Driven by the belief that things can and should be repaired, Partly is paving the way for more companies to build things that last. In the spirit of excellence, teams identify a few key goals to focus on for the quarter with a view to keep the team engaged, focused, and connected to the strategy. Clear and transparent sharing of team goals not only facilitates accountability but also inspiration, active learning, and mentoring. Partly’s flat, non-hierarchical structure underpins this culture of connection and achievement with an open plan, open door environment that enables questions, challenges, and seamless dialogue amongst colleagues, teams, and leadership. Team members embrace this purpose, with the understanding they’re all connected by the part they play. This is a wonderful example of 'Connection to Purpose' best practice, and we applaud Partly’s commitment to being one of New Zealand’s Best Places to Work!

“Cultures are revealed in a crisis, not created.” - Mike Bennetts We’re absolutely immersed in our Leadership Masterclass today and hearing so many thought-provoking, insightful, and powerful perspectives and experiences from this group of incredible Kiwi business leaders. Masterclass Facilitator, Mike spoke about being in the ‘Drift’, which is led by circumstances rather than what you are committed to. He discussed the importance of context and integrity and the challenges these can sometimes bring. He also highlighted that structured self reflection is one of the best leadership development actions you can take to go beyond the predictable and be extraordinary. We are excited to get into the afternoon session with Leanne Holdsworth and Lisa Oakley Stay tuned for more highlights as we continue this transformative journey!
