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

“ . . .The fact that The Challenge of Change is backed by academic research made a great fit with our organisation . . .”


HortResearch is a world leading Fruit Science Company using unique resources in fruit, plants and sustainable production systems to produce innovative fruit and food products. They employ more than 500 staff who work at 10 sites around New Zealand. Their leadership development programme was recognized as the “HR Initiative of the Year” for 2005 by the Human Resources Institute of New Zealand.

Cynthia Johnson, OD Leader
“I work for a science organization which employs many highly qualified researchers and support staff, so anything we introduce has to be intellectually and academically credible. The fact that The Challenge of Change is backed by academic research made a great fit with our organization and it has been very well received. More importantly, months after the course I still hear people referring to the principles they learned on the course and discussing their practice of them.

I think one of the most helpful (though challenging) messages of the course is that stress is about rumination and hence if we can control this we can manage our stress, despite all the things that may be happening around us. This gives a lot of power and control back to the individual.

I have no problem recommending the course both within our organization and externally.”
