BUILDING WELLBEING WITH NZIWR
Through years of experience we have developed a unique wellbeing change process that works because it pays attention to your context, your people and your priorities.
We provide cost-effective information and support for the people who need it when they need it.
CORE
SERVICES
There is no right door to go through to build wellbeing. Every organisation is different – with unique strengths, priorities and opportunities to leverage.
Our work helps organisations identify their particular wellbeing strengths and devise optimal strategies for change. Through effective planning and review processes, we support you and your team to navigate, and learn, throughout the process.
We help you identify the ‘open door’ you can most easily go through to create effective and lasting change.
Choose face-to-face, webinar-based, or self-paced online training – or a combination of all three – designed to suit busy people and your organisation’s budget.
Our training shares the latest wellbeing evidence and practices in engaging, interactive and enjoyable ways suited to your organisation.
Our training is fun, gives you tools you can use immediately, as well as activities shown to enhance personal wellbeing over time.
Wellbeing change leaders need ongoing support to chart a course, overcome challenges, gain and maintain momentum.
NZIWR’s Wellbeing Change Coaching provides expert advice and coaching to those responsible for instigating and sustaining wellbeing change in their organisations.
Choose individual coaching sessions or join one of our Group Coaching Clubs, a unique environment in which wellbeing leaders can deepen their practical skills and knowledge by sharing experiences, support and advice with their peers, and discussion with our expert coaches and facilitators.
