The pain
With the creation of the Auckland Super City, Metrowater was going to be taken over by Water Care Services and this meant many redundancies. Some of the participants had been with the organisation for over 30 years so some people in particular very facing quite a change. The organisation wanted to equip people with skills to manage the change, develop resilience and use the JOLT Challenge program as a way to know their strengths and plan their future accordingly.

What the client says
“Metrowater engaged the Mind Warriors to deliver the JOLT programme for over 36 of our staff. Metrowater was to be amalgamated into another company (Watercare Services) as part of the Auckland Super City creation. Many staff were anxious about their futures and whether they would have jobs going forward. Many had not been in the job market for a number of years. The JOLT programme was selected for the ability to deliver to people the personal awareness and tools required to move purposely through life and deal with the life changing events we all must face.
People self selected to go on to the programme and ranged from Accountants to Customer Services roles, from junior to senior management. The feedback from the course participants was truly amazing. Their confidence and ability to proactively engage in change increased tremendously. The personal growth and self-awareness was noticeable to both colleagues and family. I would sincerely recommend this programme to any individual and especially to organisations that wish to increase the potential of their employees and therefore the organisation. The benefits in teamwork and flexibility and robustness in the individual are impressive.”
