New to NZ ? – Understanding Kiwi workplace culture

Hiring staff from overseas? Just because they speak English doesn’t mean they’ll automatically get ‘New Zealand’ or understand Kiwi culture or kiwi workplace culture. Even if they are the new boss or the new talent from a similar culture New Zealand has its own cultural nuances that newcomers will sometimes catch new arrivals by surprise.

New Zealand has many avoidable instances where the new management with loads of experience, loads of talent, have simply tried to apply their own cultural norms in the New Zealand context and come unstuck. The result? Avoidable acrimony and often early and expensive departure back overseas, and a trail of damaged relationships you might be left to mend.
