What's up dog?

Nikau was employed as the official school dog of Te Uho o te Nikau Primary School in 2018 - before we opened in 2019. Nikau was named after the school and took on his new role after being released from the Guide Dog programme due to a medical condition. He works with over 400 children in his role, either providing reading assistance, emotional regulation support or teaching responsibility and empathy with the “Dog Squad”.

2023 #NZTOPDOG Awards Ceremony

On behalf of our TOPDOG team at Frog Recruitment, Indeed, and Jet Park Hotels, thank you to everyone for entering the 2023 edition of NZTOPDOG.

This year's campaign has been an absolute treat to watch, and we are thrilled to have shone the spotlight on the postitive impact dogs can make on our mental health, in and our of the workplace.The last few months have been about celebrating our furry best friends and shedding some light on their paw-some work. While each entry was uniquely different, the one thing they all had in common was that having your tail-wagging pal around had helped improve your mental health.
