AUCKLAND, New Zealand, September 13, 2019 – FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and the world’s largest express transportation company, has been named a Best Employer in New Zealand by Aon Hewitt.
“For the twelfth year in a row, we are proud to be recognised as an employer of choice in New Zealand,” said Peter Langley, Vice President, FedEx Express Australasia. “Our commitment to our people is always our first priority, and we are honoured that our dedication has made us an industry leader for so many years.

The Best Employer certification process assesses organisations against four critical areas: employee engagement, organisational agility, leadership engagement and a talent-focused culture. Organisations must score more than 75% on engagement and at least two of the other areas to be certified.
FedEx Express New Zealand achieved an engagement score of 79% and employees specifically registered high scores in relation to how FedEx New Zealand manages Diversity & Inclusion and Performance Management.
