As always, please remember to ask your manager before booking on to any of our training, to ensure it works with Hotel operations. Once you have booked, we take this as confirmed.

Learning, Wellbeing & Engagement Calendar

To keep up to date with all team events and activities happening this year, view the calendar below.

Social Club

Ice Hockey Game! Friday 5th June - FULL

We always love to hear your ideas! Let us know what you would like to see us do here.  

Wellbeing

Having "good wellbeing" means we have the tools, support and environments we need to be who we are and to build and sustain lives worth living. We believe that engagement at work affects our wellbeing significantly, from maintaining a good work/life balance, having long term goals in place, to having a community around us and colleagues you can have tough conversations with. 

Our Wellbeing Committee enjoy running initiatives and events such as our Quiz Nights and our Annual Millbrook Olympics. If you have a passion for Wellbeing at Work, we would love you to join us. Please email us at people.culture@millbrook.co.nz. 

If you would like to meet with our team for Career Coaching, please email us at people.culture@millbrook.co.nz. 

Health & Safety

Health & Safety is an important part of life here at Millbrook. We hold monthly committee meetings to discuss how we can improve our safety for employees and guests.

If there is any Health & Safety training you or your team require, please email LJ on lisa.meikle@millbrook.co.nz. 

Work safe - Play safe - Live safe

Recognition & Reward

We like to recognise our team members through two initiatives:

Long Service Awards:

Please join us in celebrating the wonderful members of our team who shared anniversaries with us over the past month. Thank you for all your hard work over the past year and cheers to another year!

Excellence Awards: Whilst we hope each department regularly recognised individuals that work hard within your team, we also have resort-wide recognition each month.

Above & Beyond - they have gone the extra mile or taken ownership of a team/project/challenge OR have ventured outside of their comfort zone. 

Investing in the Future - Investing in others (through training others) OR themselves (through upskilling) OR in Millbrook (through instigating sustainability ideas). 

Collaboration & Support - always have a positive attitude, nothing is too hard to help out. Lives by the late Mr Ishii’s motto “a nice place for nice people”.  

If you think someone has gone above and beyond in their role this month, please reach out to people.culture@millbrook.co.nz and tell us why!
