- Our work environment
4. Our work environment
Above all, we want our people to feel comfortable to share all aspects of themselves at work. Our commitment to inclusion and diversity in the workplace is driven by a strong conviction that genuine inclusion will deliver greater productivity, creativity, and diversity from deeper pools of talent and through fairer processes for all.
Our commitment to inclusion and diversity includes: championing gender equality, recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi, cultural diversity, LGBTI inclusion, adapting to the needs of generational workers, as well as flexible working arrangements for our people.
We nurture a culture that embraces optimism, collaboration, experimentation and curiosity. Innovation is acting on the powerful ideas of our people, clients and partners. Smart Seeds is a design-led innovation program that brings together young leaders in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch from both GHD and partner organisations to solve some of the most pressing issues facing cities today.
We are looking for people who align with these values, and who are looking to bring their whole self to work.
