Putting people first in our workplaces
The guest presenter is Rawdon Christie, Media Consultant and Creative Director of NBR View.
Rawdon firmly believes, “It’s not only important for organisations to put their people first, but that it’s essential.”
He
goes on to say, “I feel it is important to share my
observations into what sets one
organisation above others
and that I have found a common connection among those that
thrive – that they put their people first.”
Sandra Pringle, Director of Rata was quoted as saying, “I am very excited that Rawdon Christie is our guest speaker for July. We both believe positive action is essential for mental and physical workplace well-being for people, allowing them to flourish not only at work, but also in their personal lives and wider communities they live in. We need to re-examine what and how we do things in order to achieve better results for employees and organisations. If we don’t change – how can we expect better results.”
She also went on to say, that “This quote by Harvey Firestone says it all really – ‘The growth and development of people is the highest calling of true leadership’.”
