Psychology at Work,
Empowering Performance

Successful organisations recognise the need to make the most of their best asset, their people. Psychology is increasingly being used in the workplace to develop resilient staff who can adapt easily to change, and to help boost productivity through increased motivation and engagement.

Challenge of Change

AgResearch

“…The Challenge of Change looks at the individual’s perception of stress and really gets to the source issue….”

AgResearch is New Zealand’s largest Crown Research Institute (CRI) with acknowledged expertise in biological science, therefore having a key role to play in boosting the productivity of our bio-dependent economy. We are owned by the people of New Zealand, working for the benefit of New Zealand.  Our aim is to create wealth for New Zealand, value for our customers and health and well-being for consumers through science-based discovery, product development and commercialisation.

I was initially attracted to the different approach to stress presented. Other courses tend to focus on coping, whereas The Challenge of Change looks at the individual’s perception of stress and really gets to the source issue.  I’ve had excellent feedback from participants, with some colleagues saying it’s one of the best courses they’ve ever attended.  I have no hesitation recommending it both inside AgResearch and to other organisations.”
