Employee engagement and culture
Lift your people to lift your community
It’s no secret that to deliver the best outcomes for your community, you need highly motivated, focused and productive people.
Let them help you create a culture where they can reach their full potential. Bring them on the journey with you. Ask the right questions to get their insights into how they can better serve your community, and how you can help them make it happen.
Whilst this was a project, it lead to discussions about place, belonging and home. It really changed how people feel about Whakatane District Council.

Council culture
Create a culture that embraces challenge
Serving the community with limited resources and competing demands requires a culture that views challenges as opportunities, and finds a way to work through to the best outcomes.
If your people aren't excited by the challenges and don’t feel involved in the solutions, then you won’t be able to deliver what your community needs. Gain deep insights into what motivates your people, and how you can create a strong, resilient workforce and thriving council culture.
Workplace wellbeing
Ensure a safe and healthy workplace
Do your people know your health and safety policies?
Are they following them?
Is there stress they’re not talking about?
Is everyone feeling safe?
Identify physical and psychological risks so you can address them before they become major issues.
Change management
Improve change management outcomes
Successful change management programmes rely on everyone understanding what’s changing, why, and how it will affect them. Failure to do this is the leading cause of change management programmes not delivering on their promise.
Check the entire team’s perceptions and progress, identify gaps in understanding or concerns and address them to ensure the success of your change management process.
