Financial Services Advisory Firm
At the time of approaching Waterworth this firm was a very successful insurance advisory team (in fact one of the largest life insurance brokerages in Australia) - with changes in legislation and other challenges the Directors of this firm faced major retention issues. Another great challenge for this company was that over 97% of its team came from non-English speaking backgrounds. Initially Waterworth worked with the firm on a three-year contract developing quality-training programs to meet new legislation standards; plus English classes. We have since moved into a relationship of Employee Welfare Providing facilitating a series of stress management programs, motivation and leadership solutions, and an employee assistance program. The Directors of this company openly compliment the work of Waterworth and acknowledge we have helped to grow their business by improving their team’s wellbeing.
Hospitality Labour Hire Firm

After investigating the matter further it become evident to the team at Waterworth that much of the problem was found in knowledge gaps of illness and cross infection. The Waterworth solution was to develop a series of orientation training programs raising team members awareness of how certain illnesses are transmitted and how to prevent infection. We also went on to develop a number of illness prevention strategies ranging from vaccination programs for all staff willing to opt in (we even developed a homeopathic vaccination strategy for team members' not so keen on injections); as well we introduced some health and fitness programs for the team.

Clothing Retailer
At the time of approaching Waterworth this company was producing clothes in China and retailing through their own branded retail stores throughout China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Taiwan and Indonesia. The company confronted two big problems (i) recruiting quality staff; ad (ii) retaining good staff once they had trained them up. Waterworth's solution was to help change much of the culture of the organisation - shifting it from a 'workhorse, learn and go' environment to a place one could establish' a career for life'. We utilised a number different strategies to achieve this over a period of two-years.
