Promoting student wellbeing
March 07, 2018 - By Genos International
Background: The Southern Cross University Coffs Harbour campus draws students from a region that has a high representation of socio-economically disadvantaged populations. Many students undertaking nursing are the first in their families to be entering university, are needing to also work to support families, and are at high risk of drop out due to these factors. This situation is further compounded by high levels of clinical placement for students in the Bachelor of Nursing program, which occur in addition to a full academic workload, creating additional financial, personal and social burdens for these students.

An Iconic Retailer – Driving Large-Scale Change Projects
April 07, 2015 - By Genos International
Background: A large Australian iconic retailer with many sub-companies and brands was moving to a shared-services model. Large-scale change projects were being facilitated with the assistance of iconic professional service firms to centralise operational functions such as IT, Finance and Human Resources. As can happen with these types of transformation projects, the announcement and commencement of them drove down employee engagement, talent retention and performance, and drove up fear, resistance and negative behaviours among employees, potentially derailing some of the projects.
