Mori Rapana – Te Pou Arataki Cultural Advisor

"As a new addition to the ANZ whānau (family), the phrase 'Me he manu au e kakapa nei – I am all a-flutter like a bird' accurately reflects my experience working at ANZ and refers to the prospect of excitement and exuberance of a Pīwakawaka (fantail) bird that skips excitedly across the air and land.

Like this beautiful bird, I too, feel excited and impassioned by the people, place, culture, diversity and sincerity that is ANZ, and I look forward to contributing to ANZ's ongoing commitment of enhancing the well-being and prosperity of communities throughout Aotearoa."

A great place to belong

We don’t just look after the wellbeing of our customers. The wellbeing of our people is also a priority, so you can be yourself as part of an inclusive community. We’re continuously listening and responding to our people and we’re proud that from our March 2024 global employee engagement survey:

How we work

At ANZ we’re a diverse bunch, in different roles, different locations, doing different things. The way we work also differs particularly when and where we work. Depending on your role and locations there are many options to choose from to help make work ‘work for you’.

Flexible hours

Nine to five doesn’t work for everyone. We offer the freedom to start early or finish later – whatever suits you and your role.

Part-time arrangements

Part-time hours (as part of a job share or a standalone role) may be possible to support you with career responsibilities, study and other personal pursuits.

Flexible locations

Depending on your role, work some of your week from wherever you need to, on the road, from home, or the local coffee shop.

Lifestyle leave and career breaks

Top up your annual leave with additional purchased leave— or take a longer period of unpaid time off.

For those who work some of the time at home, ANZ helps ensure they have the tools and equipment needed by providing:

  • Laptop, wireless mouse and keyboard
