Our customer reviews

  • An outstanding kaupapa that brought practical, reflective, and empowering learning into our organisation

    Our leadership team at Raukura Hauora o Tainui recently took part in the Employment Relations Essentials Workshop delivered by Rea Workshops, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

    The training provided practical skills and tools our leaders could apply straight away. Role playing real scenarios helped build confidence, while reflective discussions encouraged leaders to think critically about how they navigate performance, change, and accountability.

    Participants appreciated the engaging delivery, diverse learning styles being supported, and the way facilitators adapted to a full group with busy demands. The presence of our HR Manager helped deepen understanding and alignment across functions.

    Weeks later, our teams are still referencing the tools, implementing what they learned, and encouraging others to get involved. We’ve seen a visible lift in leadership practice and confidence.

    We highly recommend Rea Workshops to any organisation committed to growing strong, values-led leaders.

Our customer reviews

  • I highly recommend this training the workshops were delivered throughout the company and we targeted not only those with line management responsibility but also those who were likely to move into those roles within the near future. We certainly noticed following the training that the level of expertise in this area grew, managers felt more confident in having early conversations with their team members, understood the process around Employment Relations and the end result for us has been fewer ER issues for the HR team to deal with and frontline teams who were able to move quickly through minor issues.
