Staff Partnership

One of the core values of our business is partnership, we believe that collectively we are able to achieve great things and that our strength as a company lies in the relationships we nurture and the teamwork we foster with our clients, staff and our local community.

Two Heads Are Better Than One

Whenever challenges or opportunities arise, the famous saying “two heads are better than one” holds true.



In order to solve complex challenges, evolve our services and be Canterbury’s chosen electrical services provider, we recognise the need to harness the strengths and abilities of others, such as internal partnerships between colleagues or departments or larger partnerships between businesses and our clients.

Our People Are The Heart Of Our Business

Our staff are the heart of our business and collectively the partnership we have with our staff make Christchurch Electrical, one of the leading suppliers of electrical services in Canterbury.



But how do we actively recognise and nurture those very people that are at the heart of everything we do? Foremost, we view our team members as contributors rather than solely executors of allocated tasks.

Acknowledge our experts - we hire and grow talented staff who know their stuff! We believe in their expertise and create opportunities for them to use and extend their knowledge.


Keep our door open - we welcome suggestions, concerns and discussion and foster review and development conversations with individuals to grow their capabilities.


Offer new opportunities - consider how employees at the beginning of their career can learn and become qualified and foster opportunities for experts in their field to extend their knowledge in other areas.


Keep staff informed - with monthly newsletters updating the team on what is happening throughout the business and highlighting members of staff, keeping the team connected.


Focus on wellbeing - we have a strong focus on the health, safety and wellbeing of our staff. That extends from the obvious site & job considerations, training & equipment through to their mental wellbeing with toolbox talks, resources being made available including EAP (employee assistance programme), flexibility of hours and a day off on their birthday, because who doesn’t want a day off on their birthday to rest, recharge and celebrate!
