“Rata’s ethos makes you think and is bringing the well-being aspect into the workplace by making it an important topic for everyone to consider. This helps companies to realise just how much well-being effects businesses and employees. It has certainly helped me see things from different perspectives in my work and home life. And, this has taught me to listen more – with out judgement."

“I really value working for an innovative sustainable business and C@R events give me the opportunity to work collaboratively with other businesses walking along the same path. After attending these C@R events I feel a renewed sense of purpose and hope and being surrounded by like minded people is inspirational! I truly feel connected and am excited to belong to a group that will bring about positive changes for sustainable business practice, our economy and the future of New Zealand society.”

"The core of Rata Professional Services is about creating good business practices. Therefore, the question isn’t ‘why would you join Rata’ – It’s ‘why wouldn’t you join Rata?.”

Sharon Humphreys – Previous Executive Director

"I have been involved with Rata for many years and have worked with them as an independent auditor for the Rata Certification Programme. The concept for C@R events was conceived and developed resulting from numerous collaborative discussions with Warren and Sandra. One of the key benefits from my point of view for businesses becoming involved is the opportunity to meet with senior representatives from leading New Zealand businesses you wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to sit down with over a breakfast or lunch and listen to what they have to say. Keep up the good work.”
