✓ One platform for everything
✓ Your team chooses what works for them
✓ Clear reporting on what's working
✓ Automated admin

This nzherald.co.nz piece highlights how modernising our work week through flexibility and wellbeing leads to zero loss in productivity, reduced burnout, and improved performance.

We see that here at Givenwell with our own team working 4-day weeks. We believe work should fit into a healthy life, not the other way around. An extra day of rest isn't a "bonus", it’s a vital tool for mental health that lets our team show up at their best.

How would you spend an extra day of freedom? 🏃‍♂️🧘‍♀️☕️

Burnout and high levels of mental stress are entrenched in New Zealand's workforce.

Hello 2026! We’re back in the office today, stoked to kickstart another exciting year. We hope you all had a refreshing break and for those of you who worked right through, we see you! 🌟

Wrapping up 2025, we reflected on how teams really use their wellbeing allowances: what works, what gets in the way, and where we can make the most impact.

The biggest takeaway? Staff value choice, simplicity, and privacy. That insight is guiding updates in 2026 to make allowances even easier to manage and more impactful for your team.

Planning your priorities for 2026? We’d love to help your team make the most of their wellbeing allowances - an easy, meaningful win to start the year. Get in touch and let’s make it happen!

Now this is a big number…

In our first year, 99% of Givenwell wellbeing allowances were spent by teams! 🎉

Honestly, we’re not surprised. It aligns perfectly with our ethos: “what happens when we get out of the way?" This happens. People engage, choose what they need, and make wellbeing work for themselves.

Have you checked the utilisation of your current wellbeing programmes? You might be shocked.

Put something in place that people will actually use – we guarantee the positive impact flows from there. We’ve seen the data and heard the success stories first-hand.

Make the switch from tickbox to meaningful today!
