Recognition and reward advisory

To help ensure employees are motivated and engaged in this current working environment, organisations are re-imagining rewards and establishing a new hybrid approach to working that supports their people today and into the future. EY teams work with organisations in Aotearoa New Zealand and globally to help them re-imagine remuneration, reward and recognition.

EY has deep experience in providing advice on all aspects of reward, having worked with many of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading organisations. Our team provides pragmatic, insightful advice underpinned by the latest qualitative and quantitative market information.
