2nd in Forbes’ ‘Best Country for
Business’ report, just behind
Denmark
(December 2015)
New Zealand is consistently ranked highly by the World
Bank as an easy place to start a business and an
easy country to do business. Extensive deregulation
over several decades has reduced many regulatory
burdens and created one of the world’s most efficient,
competition-friendly business environments. There are
few restrictions on establishing, owning and operating a
business here. In fact, by using the Government’s online
portals the official paperwork to set up a business can be
completed in a matter of hours.

compared to other developed
countries. Its labour costs are
extremely competitive.
5. Simple tax
system
New Zealand has a straightforward, business-friendly, low-compliance taxation
system that supports capital development, research and development (R&D) and
international investment. New Zealand has a recoverable Goods and Services (GST)

depreciation.

High-capacity submarine fibre-optic
e-optic
cables such as the Southern Cross
Cable connect New Zealand digitally.
6. World class
infrastructure
New Zealand is a strongly trade-oriented society
that has developed sophisticated infrastructure
and policies to support companies that do
business internationally. Large investments have
been made in the electricity transmission network,
the roll out of ultra-fast broadband and major
transport projects including the roads of national
significance. New Zealand is well connected by
efficient technology and logistics.
Internationally, New Zealand connects to the world
through high-capacity submarine fibre-optic cables,
efficient ports, international airports serviced by a
wide range of global airline services.

8. New
Zealand’s
positive
economic
outlook
New Zealand’s economic growth has been
faster than most other developed countries in
recent years. The OECD commented in 2015
that: “inflation and inflation expectations are
well anchored... Strong fiscal monetary policy
frameworks and a healthy financial sector have
yielded macroeconomic stability, underpinning
growth. Employment is high, in large part
thanks to flexible labour markets and ample
immigration, business investment is robust and
households and firms are optimistic.”
7. Sophisticated
telecommunications
New Zealand’s telecommunications
infrastructure includes international
broadband submarine cable systems and
competitive onshore mobile networks. The
Southern Cross cable alone delivers 240
Gbit/s of fully-protected bandwidth to the
United States mainland, Hawaii, Australia and
Fiji. As demand increases capacity can be
doubled to 480Gbit/s. Soon New Zealand’s
data capacity will be further doubled with a
new Trans Pacific cable.
The New Zealand Government has initiated
a $1.5 billion programme to deliver fibre
broadband capacity throughout much of New
Zealand. 4G mobile networks are operating
in New Zealand’s main centres including
Hastings, Wellington and Palmerston North.
9. Accessibility
Direct flights to New Zealand are available
from many international destinations
and domestic airports make the country
very accessible. Depending where you
are coming from, you can fly directly to
Auckland or Wellington in the North Island.
Driving between cities is very easy with a
modern roading network.
Why New Zealand? | 13
64.8%
10. High quality workforce
New Zealand is a developed nation with a motivated,
creative and skilled workforce. We have leading
educational institutions, and a well-educated workforce.
40% of the workforce holds a tertiary qualification
compared to the OECD average of 30%1.
English is the main language and around 17 percent of
New Zealanders speak two or more languages such as
Mandarin, Hindi and Korean. New Zealanders are known
for being open and friendly people with a good work
ethic and a can-do attitude.
Generally New Zealand has low attrition rates and has
great cultural affinity to Australia and other English
speaking countries. In addition there is greater labour
flexibility than in Australia where the workforce is more
unionised.

12. Ease of employment
New Zealand has some of the most flexible
employment legislation.
Trial period Employers can make an offer of
employment that includes a trial period of up to 90
days (subject to criteria).
Deductions PAYE (Pay As You Earn) is the basic
income tax taken out of an employee’s wages
whenever they are paid. PAYE includes an accident
compensation levy.
Superannuation (KiwiSaver) The existing scheme
is voluntary for employees. If an employee chooses
to opt-in then an employer is required to contribute
3% of their gross salary or wages to their KiwiSaver
account or complying fund.
Holidays At the end of each year of employment
with a company, an employee becomes entitled to
four weeks paid annual holiday. Employees are also
entitled to 11 paid public holidays, if they are days
the employee would normally work.
Parental leave Employees may be eligible for
paid and unpaid parental leave if they meet certain
criteria. Government, not employers, funds the paid
leave.
Unions There is greater labour flexibility than in
Australia where the workforce is more unionised.
Every employee must have a written employment
agreement, either individual or collective (through a
union). Employees have the right to decide whether
to join a union and if so, which union.
Sick leave Employees are entitled to five days paid
sick leave annually (after 6 months employment).

Hawke’s Bay
Hawke’s Bay is located on the East
Coast of the Lower North Island.
The major urban areas in the Bay are
centred around the cities of Hastings
and Napier, which are just 20 km
apart. The local Eastern Institute
of Technology provides tailored
training and a steady stream of
graduates looking for employment
opportunities.
Hawke’s Bay’s ready supply of skilled
labour, commercial property and
very low commercial rental costs
make it a very attractive place for
international firms to establish, or
relocate their office. Its desirable
climate and lifestyle make it easy to
attract and retain staff.
Hastings is fast becoming the
region’s favoured call centre location.
Kiwibank is a large New Zealand
owned bank who recently decided
to locate a regional office in Hastings.
One hundred staff are employed in
18 | Hawke’s Bay
the bank’s new regional office. The
new office performs back office tasks
including mortgage and settlements,
and a call centre function. Kiwibank
chose to locate in Hastings for a
number of reasons including cost
(more economical than expanding
in Auckland), a desirable location
for staff to live and work, and to
provide an alternative site for disaster
recovery. Other companies located
in the region are ABB (Switzerland),
BayWa (Germany), Oji Holdings
(Japan) and Pernod Ricard (France).
Getting there
Hawke’s Bay’s airport in Napier is
located approximately 20 minutes’
drive from Hastings. Air New Zealand
and Jetstar provide frequent daily
direct services to Auckland and
Wellington.
The economy
Hawke’s Bay is a major contributor to New
Zealand’s horticulture sector and is the largest
viticulture area in New Zealand. These sectors
are forecast to grow significantly. Investment
in infrastructure, particularly the installation of
fibre optic communication technology, has
opened the doors for many different types of
companies looking for a new location.
New and diverse businesses are growing up
around the region’s traditional strength of primary
production. There is a robust environment
of innovation, research, development and
creativity. The growth in commerce means
there is a network of professional services
clustered in the region.
Case studies
Kiwibank
Richard Wiley, Hastings-based
Service Excellence Manager for
Kiwibank, says “I jumped at the
opportunity to move to Hastings in
Hawke’s Bay when Kiwibank chose to
set up a second contact centre. The
lifestyle here is wonderful.
“We employ over 100 staff across the
site and as the Service Excellence
Manager, I have been impressed
with the high quality of candidates
available for a variety of roles we
have recruited for – a wide crosssection of people from customer
service professionals wanting to grow
their career to those returning to the
workforce. In a nutshell, Hastings in
Hawke’s Bay was an excellent choice
for Kiwibank!”
PLP Group
Hastings
The PLP Group in South Africa, a
leading edge and innovative contact
centre operator, established an
operation in Hastings (PLPNZ) to
provide cost effective contact centre
services and other BPO activities.
PLPNZ provides clients with access
to innovative value added initiatives
that are not readily available in New
Zealand. For example PLPNZ provide
local company Mr Apple with an
outsourced absenteeism call line
service which covers operations over
six locations, running both day and
night shifts for approximately 600
employees.
Jan Flowers, Chief Operations
Officer for Mr Apple says “the impact
on our business since engaging
their services is widespread and
outstanding. Our absenteeism levels
have reduced by an estimated 50%
and this has positively affected
efficiencies across many aspects of
our operations.
“PLPNZ provide personable service
and innovative solutions. Their ability
to adapt and respond to our changing
needs at times is commendable.
They provide us with an outstanding
service, which has had an impact on
our overall business operations in
such a short time.”

Manawatu
Palmerston North is located in the
Manawatu on the southwest coast of
the Lower North Island, 140 km north
of Wellington. Palmerston North has
a ready supply of skilled labour,
commercial property availability
and very low commercial rental
costs. Manawatu has an ideal
workforce profile for contact centre
work, including a university student
population of 8,000 and partners of
defence force staff wanting to work
flexible hours. There is also excellent
telecommunications infrastructure
through a Telecom hub, ultrafast
broadband with ample data and good
choice of Telco providers.
Manawatu positioned itself as a
centre of excellence for contact
centres and has formed a large
20 | Manawatu
Contact Centre Cluster with 23
companies and approximately 1200
staff. Members include Toyota NZ,
Contact Energy, State Insurance
and the nine government contact
centres in the region. Cluster
members collaborate on a number
of initiatives including an award
programme. There are also a number
of outsourcers available.
Getting there
Palmerston North Airport is 5
kilometres, or approximately a 10
minute drive from the city centre. The
airport has up to 40 scheduled flights
per day from all major centres in the
country.
The economy
Manawatu’s traditional economic strengths are
in primary production, agricultural research and
innovative agritech manufacturing. The region
also is a key logistics hub for New Zealand
due to its central location and excellent
transport infrastructure. Tertiary education,
health services and government, including the
national defence force, are also key sectors.
Case studies
Toyota NZ
Toyota opened a parts warehouse in
Palmerston North in 1977. In 1991 this
was expanded to a National Customer
Service Centre which included
additional service and customer care
functions. Toyota now employs around
160 people and occupies more than 20
acres in Palmerston North.
Managing Director, Alastair Davis,
describes the benefits of locating in
Palmerston North. “Land is readily
available, operating costs are generally
lower than larger centres.”
“Staff loyalty is strong as national head
office jobs generally are an attractive
option in Palmerston North. The city
gives a balanced perspective to the
pulse of New Zealand.”
“It is also an ideal location for
conferences and nationwide training as
almost all New Zealand locations can
