“Working with Liz & Sara this past year has been incredible! By sharing their amazing journey of how PeopleEX was established, we realised that our core values were very similar. Our goal was to create an HR framework that both addressed the needs of our employees and impacted them in a more positive way. Liz and Sara helped us achieved this goal and guided us to create processes and systems that will benefit our people now and in the future. We are sincerely grateful to PeopleEX who will be a part of our Moana Connect family for life. Fa’afetai tele lava!”

"It's been an absolute pleasure working with Karen, Sara, Liz and the wider PeopleEX team. They are a true partner in every sense of the word, providing broad HR support and advice while being perfectly aligned with our own core values of Guardianship, Integrity, Connection and Wellness. The team has also played an intricate part in our recruitment, from the creation of the JD, Advert, Shortlisting and Contract negotiation it was seamless. Thanks team!"

Chief Executive Officer
Mangaroa Farms
“We have gained much from working with PeopleEX. They have provided a modern human resource process which has had clearly identifiable benefits in terms of enhancing our performance. PeopleEX’s creativity and initiative in developing a bespoke system for setting, tracking, and reviewing my performance as CEO was state of the art and has provided real benefit for providing focus for the whole organisation’s work. It not only streamlined our processes but also significantly enhanced our ability to see a straight line between CEO goals for a period, with organisational purpose, vision, and strategy. Through one-on-one coaching sessions, PeopleEX worked closely with me to establish strategic, operational and people goals. Their insights, dedication to excellence, and unwavering commitment to our success make them an invaluable HR partner. I wholeheartedly recommend PeopleEX.”

“Karen fitted into our team environment and ways of working with ease. Within days we were having positive and unsolicited feedback from across the areas she was supporting. In particular, her approach to facilitating crucial conversations was very much appreciated.
Karen practices HR in line with our own values and philosophy, where there is always a place for kindness and maintaining other’s mana and dignity. We’d have Karen back in a heartbeat, knowing that our people are safe in her hands.”
Meredith Blackler
Te Tumu Āpiha Tāngata, Ahurea Matua | Chief People and Culture Officer
Wellington City Council
“PeopleEX were referred to us about a year ago when we were looking for some independent support for our National Council (Board) with developing an objective setting and review programme for our Chief Executive. Karen came to us with innovative suggestions and a programme that sits outside of the same stale ‘performance review’ process that’s been around many organisations for years. Since then we’ve been working with Karen & Sara on our internal people experience programme. As a sole-charge people & culture resource, bringing in external support for my mahi is crucial. Karen & Sara have worked closely with me, our leadership team and all of our kaimahi to develop a programme that genuinely puts people at the heart. Their warm and friendly style, professional approach, and expert knowledge has been much appreciated. We’re looking forward to continuing our mahi with PeopleEX and happily recommend Karen and her team.”
