Synapsys were recognised for their outstanding work with Z Energy, as they moved from Shell to the new Z brand.

Director Phil Garing says “Having our efforts recognised amongst blue chip international companies has given us a great deal of satisfaction. Knowing that we are contributing to a bigger vision is the reward in the work for us. Being able to bring our expertise across different sectors provides a lot of scope for innovation, it’s great to see our partnerships recognised offshore.”

Synapsys is committed to supporting the future of Christchurch

Synapsys have partnered locally with City Care to help grow internal capability and provide a platform for continued business growth far into the future. City Care is integral to the success and pace of the redevelopment of Christchurch. Businesses have had to redefine how they operate in the new environment and City Care is among this new wave of thinking. “Being flexible and adaptable are critical to moving forward in these challenging times” says Adrian Watson, GM HR City Care.

“Our business has grown from approximately 950 to over 1500 staff members, and we are still expanding as we immerse ourselves deeper in the rebuild. This speed of growth has its challenges and Synapsys have the experience to support the management of this change. From induction through to work place safety and new technology roll outs, Synapsys has had to develop processes and solutions to address the changing needs of City Care” says Watson.

“Those that have realised there needs to be new ways of thinking and acting have started to enjoy new found success” says Brendan Sullivan, Business Development Manager, Synapsys. “The opportunity is for businesses to look at collaborative models to work in partnership with others to help drive growth and opportunity. City Care has recognised this and are committed to having the best trained work force possible.”

Watson says “It is our view the quality of the staff we train will have a direct impact on the quality of the work we deliver to the Christchurch community, therefore it is imperative we get this right. Synapsys are working with us to ensure we have the best chance of success with this.”

“There is no doubt opportunities exist across all market sectors and the rebuild is only a part of this opportunity pipeline. Professional services, health and education sectors are all repositioning to address the changing needs of our city”, reports Sullivan.

Synapsys works to understand and unpick business challenges, put processes around them and design implementation strategies to deliver the solution. “At its heart, it’s about recognising what is required to build a strong effective human capital, for everyone’s benefit” Sullivan says.
