Simpson Grierson is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading commercial law firms, advising on some of the country’s most significant projects, deals, and disputes.

Known for their commercially savvy approach and strong client focus, they bring that same thinking internally, investing in benefits that are practical, meaningful, and easy for their people to use.

Always looking for smarter ways of working, Simpson Grierson partnered with Extraordinary to streamline how they deliver employee benefits and recognition.

A single platform, multiple touchpoints

Rather than managing separate tools and processes, Simpson Grierson brought everything together into one connected experience.

“We saw the opportunity Extraordinary offered from day one and were proud to adopt both the gifting and public transport modules in 2025. Partnering with Extraordinary has given us a single, simple digital platform for wellness benefits, instant recognition rewards and public transport savings through salary sacrifice. We love the ease of having everything on one digital card. Managers can acknowledge great work in the moment, making recognition more meaningful and immediate.”

Through one platform, their team now has access to:

• Wellness allowance 
• Recognition and rewards
• Instant gifting 
• Tax-free public transport

All delivered in a simple, consistent way via a single digital card.

Real impact, used every day

With more than half of their people commuting by public transport, introducing a tax-free option quickly delivered tangible value.

“With more than half of our people commuting by public transport, the tax-free salary sacrifice option has been a real game-changer, with some of our team saving up to $800 a year.”

For employees, the experience is seamless and reliable:

“It’s a great product, the public transport module is fantastic and I’m enjoying the savings.”

Easy to run, easy to scale

From an operational perspective, simplicity has been key.

“The platform has been really easy to work with and our payroll/finance team has been able to manage the administration smoothly from the start. The public transport module has been well received by the team… once people actually see the numbers, it's very compelling.”

Strong early adoption has been driven by how easy the platform is to use, both for employees and internally.

A partnership built for the future

Extraordinary aligns closely with Simpson Grierson’s approach to supporting their people — practical, thoughtful, and designed to deliver real value.

“Extraordinary aligns closely with Simpson Grierson’s values, and we’d readily recommend it to organisations looking for a simple, impactful way to support and recognise their people.”

We’re proud to support a firm that backs its people with the same dedication they show their clients — and we’re excited to see the programme continue to grow.
