Stratum Consultants Wins at Tauranga Business Awards

The Stratum Consultants leadership team with Award Sponsor Representative from The University of Waikato.

We are thrilled to announce that Stratum Consultants has been awarded the 2025 Employer of the Year title at the Tauranga Business Awards.

This award is a reflection of our collective efforts to build a workplace where everyone can thrive. Our people-centric culture, combined with our commitment to excellence, has always been at the heart of what we do. Winning this award is a significant milestone for us, and it reinforces our dedication to our employees and the communities we serve.

Our Unique Workplace Culture

At Stratum Consultants, we believe in "Taking our work seriously, but not taking ourselves too seriously." Our workplace culture is built on high performance balanced with a nurturing and friendly environment. We foster collaboration, humility, and care for each other, ensuring that our team members feel valued and supported.

One of the standout features of our workplace is our unique 36-hour work week. Our offices close at 12 noon every Friday, giving our employees a long weekend every weekend. This initiative has contributed to our team's well-being, allowing them to spend more time with loved ones, pursue personal interests, and enjoy a better work-life balance. However the judging panel looked closely across the business and beyond this initiative in making their assessments.

Looking Ahead

Winning the Employer of the Year award is a significant achievement for Stratum Consultants, and we are incredibly proud. We remain committed to our people, and our purpose of guiding the respectful transformation of land for thriving developments and communities across the Bay of Plenty (and beyond).

We are excited about the future and look forward to building on this success. Thank you to the Tauranga Business Awards for this incredible honour, and to our amazing team for making Stratum Consultants a great place to work.
