Who is Genesis Energy?
Genesis is a New Zealand-owned energy company. We are proud of our strong links with customers and community stakeholders.
We are in the business of providing simple, smart energy solutions and services. We do this by making it easy for customers to power their homes and businesses. We know that services can work better together, so we partner with like-minded companies to deliver practical, value-added products and services that fit seamlessly into everyday life. We are the energy management brand of the future and we're focused on growth.
Genesis’ operations are carried out by more than 1000 employees across New Zealand. Working here gives you access to our great employee benefits programme, as well as an unwavering focus on a safe workplace and opportunities to learn and develop.
Genesis wants to be "the place where talent wants to work." This reflects our position in the market. We are an industry leader and offer our people a competitive rewards package. This is about helping you feel part of the team and it helps all of us focus on contributing to our overall success.
Our Zero Harm focus on Health and Safety means we strive for a Zero Harm workplace, another feature of who we are. It's all part of how we support the wellbeing of Genesis people.
On the Job Development
At Genesis, you'll be encouraged to grow your knowledge and skills. We do this through on the job development and by giving you exposure to tasks and projects that will help expand your capabilities.
We approach your development using the following framework:
- 70% from real life and on-the-job experiences, tasks and problem solving.
- 20% from feedback and from observing and working with role models.
- 10% from formal training.
Leadership Development
We also use the 70/20/10 model to develop our leaders. We achieve this through experience, exposure and educational development opportunities.
These include internal and external leadership programmes, coaching and mentoring, secondments and special projects.
The Company works in conjunction with employees to identify their career aspirations and support them in developing a career plan to achieve their career goals.
Volunteer Day
The Genesis volunteer programme gives employees one paid day off each year to volunteer on community projects. This strength in numbers enables the completion of tasks that would be otherwise unachievable and demonstrates the power of volunteering in transforming communities.
Social Club
ClubGen is a social club run by Genesis employees. If you decide to join, you'll be part of regular social events, as well as recreational and cultural activities across each of the Company's locations. It's a great way to network and connect with your colleagues away from work.
The Recognition Programme ‘Recognising You' celebrates both individuals and teams who live our three behaviours in delivering great outcomes for Genesis. Our Recognition Programme is designed to let you recognise great work done by your colleagues.
At Genesis all our employees are encouraged to become brand advocates. To help you better understand our products and services, we offer an additional prompt payment discount on their Genesis electricity and gas bill.
Health Insurance
Medical bills can be unexpected and expensive. To help you manage your wellbeing, Genesis provides employees with Southern Cross ‘Wellbeing One' or ‘RegularCare' insurance provided at no cost to you. You can include a partner and dependents at your own cost within your policy if you wish. You will need to pay for any additional family member cover, but the annual pricing offered does provide a significant saving to you.
Life, Terminal Illness and Personal Accident Insurance
The Company provides employees with paid insurance covering life, terminal illness and accident insurance to help provide you and your dependents with peace of mind. Again, this is an excellent benefit as the Company provides this free of charge for its employees. You can also include family members at your own cost if you wish.
Trauma Insurance
Paid trauma insurance is also provided to paid employees. This is a one-off payment for a serious illness event.
Income Protection Insurance
Genesis Energy provides employees with paid income protection insurance to help provide financial security by paying your income if you were off work with an illness for an extended period.
Superannuation
Planning for retirement is important. Genesis supports its employees with a 4% Kiwisaver Company contribution.
Employee Share Scheme
The Employee Share Scheme gives you an easy way to share in the Company's future success. The scheme opens annually to new members, usually around August.
Employee Referral Programme
We believe 'talent knows talent' so to encourage you to help us recruit the best people, we provide a cash incentive to reward staff who refer new employees to the company.
Banking/Financial
As a Genesis staff member, you can take up discounted personal banking offers through Westpac's EmployeePac offer and ANZ's [email protected] package.
Staff Discount Offers
From time to time, we are able to offer staff discounts to our employees on specific purchases.
