HSR names one of the 20 best places to work in New Zealand

Henry Schein Regional has been named one of the top 20 places to work in New Zealand by an independent workplace surveyor firm. John Robertson & Associates, who conducted the survey for Unlimited Magazine, polled more than 13,000 workers from 128 companies across New Zealand to determine this year's results.

Rankings were determined by employee feedback to a multiple-section survey that measured workers' overall satisfaction and perceptions about corporate management, direction, leadership and other factors.

"This is a gratifying acknowledgement of our commitment to providing personally and professionally rewarding careers to Team Schein members as they deliver outstanding service to our office-based healthcare practitioner customers every day of the year," said Michael Zack, President of Henry Schein's International Group. "At Henry Schein, we believe our greatest asset is our people, the nearly 8,000 Team Schein members around the world who share a singular commitment to serving our customers. We are honored to once again be included in this survey of outstanding companies across New Zealand."

This is the second year that Henry Schein Regional has appeared on the Robertson survey since the Company debuted on the list in 2002.
