People Support Services - Decipher Group

services: people support

Decipher Group helps businesses create value through their people, providing a range of strategic people services and support.

It’s all about nurturing the fundamental ‘people’ building blocks of an organisation – the processes people follow, how people are managed, the recruitment of talent, performance, and the development of skills, as well as how people make decisions and connect with one another.

Your people are your greatest asset, particularly when they’re motivated, valued, and given a positive, proactive environment in which to work. To maintain competitiveness and enable organisational growth, businesses rely on the commitment and performance of their human capital. It’s a known fact that companies who provide autonomy, creative opportunities, competitive salaries and a caring, connected environment will generally outperform those that take a more streamlined approach.

We work with a broad range of businesses throughout New Zealand and Australia, including international companies who require people support for New Zealand based teams.

Let’s work together to unlock the people potential in your organisation.

People Strategy

Decipher Group works closely with chief executives, boards, and senior leadership teams to understand what their businesses are trying to achieve and assist with creating a framework for their structure and people resource, to enable them to successfully execute their strategy. It’s all about understanding how the complex goals of your business can be aligned with your human potential.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion is a hot topic globally – from the classroom through to the boardroom and breakroom, we all want to create spaces that are welcoming and where happiness and belonging are prioritised. Businesses are taking bold and decisive action to promote diverse and inclusive workplaces, and not just because of the positive impact on business performance, but because it is the right thing to do.

Behavioural Assessment

Decipher Group has the in-house capability to deliver a range of service solutions for our clients to support the assessment, selection, and development of talent. From cognitive ability, personality, and psychometric testing as part of a robust recruitment process, through to profiling assessments to support the development of teams, we help guide our clients through the options that will deliver the best outcomes for their particular need.
