Strategic Talent Placement & Enablement
“I think it’s dangerous to play it safe…People want to see something that fuels the imagination”
Alexander McQueen
We believe Better Work starts with the right people and teams —enabled, coached, and supported continually to learn and thrive. That’s why we’ve developed the EDGE Framework, ensuring our talent placement and enablement approach is targeted, future-focused, and impactful.
​This isn’t just about finding a body to fill a gap. This is strategic talent enablement, placing the right people in the right teams and creating the environment for them to drive real change in HSW capability in New Zealand.
