MHM Automation - Engineering a Healthier Way to Get to Work
Supporting active people in a high-performance environment
Based in New Zealand and working at the forefront of industrial automation, MHM Automation designs and delivers complex engineering solutions for clients across infrastructure, manufacturing, and utilities. With a workforce spread across office, workshop, and site-based roles, MHM understands the importance of supporting employee wellbeing in ways that are practical, inclusive, and aligned with long-term sustainability goals.
That mindset led them to introduce Workride as a staff benefit - empowering their team to make biking part of everyday life.
The impact so far
Since launching Workride, MHM Automation has seen strong engagement from across the team. What began as a small number of early adopters quickly gained momentum through word-of-mouth, with employees sharing their experiences and encouraging others to get involved.
That enthusiasm translated into tangible, on-site change - including the need to expand bike parking facilities to keep up with growing participation. The result is a workplace where cycling is not only supported, but visibly embedded into daily routines.
Building a healthier, more sustainable workplace
For an engineering business focused on innovation and long-term impact, Workride fits naturally alongside MHM Automation’s broader approach to sustainability and people-first culture.
Encouraging active transport helps reduce commuting emissions, supports physical and mental wellbeing, and reinforces MHM’s commitment to creating a workplace where employees are empowered to make positive choices — both for themselves and the environment.
What has your experience been with Workride?
“It’s been incredibly rewarding to see how energised our team has become about the Workride initiative. Word-of-mouth has played a huge role - employees hear from their colleagues about how positive the experience has been, which creates real momentum and encourages even more people to get involved. The enthusiasm has grown so much that we’ve now doubled the number of bike racks on site to keep up with all our new riders!”

Looking ahead
MHM Automation joins a growing network of 1,500 employers across New Zealand using Workride to support healthier, more sustainable ways of getting to and from work. As more organisations look for benefits that genuinely resonate with staff, MHM’s experience shows how a well-designed program can deliver practical outcomes - without complexity.
