We work will work collaboratively with you to promote a holistic, and practical approach to wellbeing, encompassing areas such as:
We believe fostering a positive wellbeing focus for your workforce is more important than ever with the blurring lines between work and home life and the rise in remote working.
The People Place can help you to create simple, practical policies and practices to incorporate Wellness tools to suit the profile of your workforce. Aligning your company Mission with a wellness strategy that makes sense for you, your people and industry will allow you to actually engage with your employees and support them in healthy behaviours.
Through supporting true health and wellbeing in your workplace, you will be better able to release the productivity and creativity of your people.
The People Place offers a wide range of HR services, so whatever challenges or opportunities you are facing, we can support you through them, towards higher performance and business success.
Whatever the triggers, it is worth examining the structure of your business to ensure it is fit-for-purpose for the ongoing longevity of the organisation.
Restructuring is a way to ensure the continued success of your business. This process typically involves making changes to your org design and/or operations, with a goal of optimising the design and flow of work tasks, to find efficiencies and better ways of working. Sometimes this means changing, reducing or removing the roles in your business, and these changes can be difficult and stressful for those involved.
The People Place is highly experienced in the restructure process, and will guide and support your business through each step of the process. We can assist in developing a proposal for efficiencies of work, consulting with your people, ensuring you are compliant with New Zealand law, and eliminating risk, all the while helping you to engage with your employees with respect and compassion.
We focus the restructure itself on ensuring success for your business. We work with you on the roles in the business, and the business outcomes you need to achieve, while taking a people-centred approach to managing the change. If redundancies are required, we can support you and those impacted through the redundancy process.
Restructuring is often a necessary step in ensuring your business evolves as it needs to suit the modern context. We believe that it can be done well, in a way that maintains stability, engagement and morale.
If you’d like to know more, or need help with restructure, please reach out for a confidential chat with one of our senior consultants.
If you are interested in the special offer we are currently providing in support of Kiwi businesses undergoing restructures, you can view the Terms and Conditions here.

Putting a strategic focus on Diversity and Inclusion in your business is about providing equal opportunities for all of your employees, recognising individuality, different perspectives and needs.
Having a diverse workforce is a positive force that reflects and serves your customers. Having real diversity and inclusion helps your people to thrive, attracts top talent, allows you to innovate with fresh views and ideas, and ultimately leads to greater business success.
Our approach to Diversity and Inclusion is considered and practical.
If required, we can provide access to tools and techniques to support inclusivity in the workplace, for example, training to recognise unconscious bias in hiring activity.

Remuneration is the cornerstone of the employment relationship; the give and the get. More than salary paid, it includes any other financial compensation and all benefits supplied.
Having a strategy and structure in place for remuneration in your business makes decision making and communication around pay easy and clear, and keeps costs controlled.
It ensures the remuneration you provide is fair and equitable for your people, and will strengthen your ability to attract and retain talented employees.
Reward & Recognition is a powerful tool in building employee engagement and positive workplace feelings. It’s a way to demonstrate your appreciation of your people, while at the same time increasing employee motivation.
Our custom-designed frameworks will work within your budget and reflect the needs of your business and people, and will deliver significant, positive benefits.

Like with any skill, leadership attributes don’t necessarily come naturally—but can be learned and developed with the right support. When your leaders have the knowledge and capabilities to work at their best, and empower the same from their teams, they are more likely to achieve organisational goals; to be productive, engaged and satisfied at work.
The People Place offers a suite of practical training and coaching programmes, designed especially for New Zealand business managers and leaders. Each programme, facilitated by a skilled and industry-experienced Consultant from our team, delivers valuable insight, essential knowledge and useful tools.
Typically our programmes are run in a group format, with a positive end result of enhanced self-awareness, improved EQ, strengthened capability, and closely aligned teams. We also provide one-to-one coaching for senior leaders where required.
Like any skill, leadership takes time, and practice to hone and craft. We'd be delighted to chat with you about how our training programmes can work in your business.
