Propel New Zealand Launch EventPropel New Zealand officially launched last month! To celebrate this we held an interactive breakfast discussion event, which provided a forum to have robust talent conversations and for peers to share talent management solutions and perspectives. Topics discussed included: successes and challenges in employer branding; team effectiveness and what makes a positive impact; ways to enhance career clarity; and shifting mindsets and behaviours during change.
Martin Adams, Co-Founder and Managing Director, joined the event to share talent trends and challenges that we are seeing globally from a talent management perspective as well as examples of how some clients have overcome these. Jenny and Lucy valued the opportunity to share their vision of Propel for New Zealand which is to help organisations make better people decisions, with more certainty, through accessible solutions. |
Our New Zealand office is led by Jenny Dwyer and Lucy Cennamo-Jones who together have more than 25 years of experience in the talent management field. Both Jenny and Lucy are Registered Organisational Psychologists and are very excited to start designing and delivering technology enabled consulting solutions to clients in New Zealand.

Through their global program: ‘Our World, Our Future’ DP World have established sustainability as one of four pillars of their strategy and they weave sustainability into every aspect of their work.
DP World collaborated with Propel International to bring their global Sustainability Champions together for a two day event.

Ownership of sustainability plans was an important theme and they brainstormed how they could increase collaboration and why they should “rethink value”.
The regional sustainability champions usually spend between 30-50% of their time on sustainability and it is part of their job description. Their passion and inspiring attitude to make a difference in the world and be a ‘global citizen’ was evident during the event and served to reinforce how important their work is.
|
Hannah and Gavin, the Propel facilitators at the event would like to thank DP World for giving us the opportunity to take part in such a worthwhile event “I’m truly inspired by the whole group of champions that I met and how they are collectively and proactively tackling important issues in very tangible ways. For DP World it’s more than simply ‘corporate social responsibility’ hence the considered title of ‘sustainability’. Putting sustainability at the heart of the organisational strategy is something that other organisations can learn from no matter how big or small the company may be”.
