According to Flood, the organisation has reduced operational costs and implemented AI tools to help serve customers amid a tough economic environment.
Flood's remarks confirm the email seen and previously reported by Stuff that was asking employees to volunteer for redundancy.
Recent expensive movesThe request came at a time when the company is moving offices and sponsoring a 30,000-seat roofed arena that will be named after it and is set for an April 2026 opening, according to reports.
One NZ addressed these expenses despite limited salary increases to employees and offers of voluntary redundancy.
"Our Auckland office move is based on a long-term plan and pay-off period. If we stayed at Smales Farm, we would need to invest into that building instead, to ensure the office is fit for purpose," the organisation said in the email quoted by Stuff.
