The Company Partners Life is one of New Zealand’s leading insurance companies. From the get-go, their focus has been to protect Kiwis and the things that matter most to them. Far too many Kiwis float through life unprepared for a possible interruption. At the heart of Partners Life is a desire to get everyday Kiwis covered and covered properly and will continue to innovate and raise both their standards and as a result, the entire industry’s.
Never afraid to ruffle feathers, Partners Life has always said that they’d do things differently – and they do. Founded in 2011, they have grown rapidly and have become a recognised industry leader in Life and Health Insurance.
Celebrating individuality is one of Partners Life’s core values, they have held the Rainbow Tick since 2018 and Gender Tick since 2021, and most recently reaccredited the Advanced Gender Tick. Gaining this accreditation acknowledges that Partners Life has continued to exceed the minimum expectations needed to create a gender inclusive workplace.
Winning in the Information Technology and digital innovation space is a key component of Partner’s future focussed strategy, and they are investing in people and resources to support delivery of their aspirations.
