    “This program was instrumental in helping us manage the diverse cultures”

    We recently expanded our operations in Papua New Guinea, and Peopleconnexion played a crucial role in supporting this growth. They assisted with everything from recruitment to handling visas and various aspects of employing individuals in an overseas country. Additionally, we implemented the Cultural Intelligence program across our entire staff.

    This program was instrumental in helping us manage the diverse cultures within our New Zealand team and around the world. Moreover, it uniquely prepared us to effectively handle and build strong relationships with our local partners, stakeholders, and staff in PNG. Peopleconnexion’s Cultural Intelligence program provided valuable insights and understanding into this exciting and distinctive culture, equipping us with the tools to navigate our relationships in a culturally appropriate manner.
