Southern Cross Health Society teamed with the Human Resource Institute of New Zealand (HRINZ) to establish industry benchmarks around key metrics, such as employer funded health insurance, and to understand the role they play in driving business performance. The below are key findings from this study undertaken in June 2016 among HR professionals and HRINZ members.
