When we call, New Zealand businesses answer
Every working day, hundreds of businesses and organisations across New Zealand support our brigades by allowing their employees to respond to incidents. As a self-employed volunteer, or an employer of our volunteers, you’re an essential part of our support crew.
We’re committed to recognising the support of our self-employed volunteers and volunteers’ employers. We raise awareness of employers valuable contribution by:
- Offering a ‘Proud Employer of Fire and Emergency Volunteers’ mark for employers of volunteers to display to the public
- Promoting employers of volunteers in our annual nationwide campaign, which recognises the vital contribution businesses play in our communities
- Listing volunteer’s employers on our trucks, on signs outside local stations, and on our web directory
- Publishing an annual ‘Thank You’ advert that lists local employers in local newspapers
- Hosting our employers at annual recognition events.
Benefits of employing volunteers
Employing Fire and Emergency volunteers is rewarding. Benefits to your business or organisation include:
- Employees with transferable skills they’ve developed through training with Fire and Emergency, e.g. first-aid, problem solving and leadership
- A sense of pride knowing that your business or organisation plays a vital role in keeping our communities safe.
- Recognition as a socially responsible employer which may mean more engaged and loyal employees
If you employ a volunteer, we’d love for you to join our support crew and be recognised for your contribution.
