Every year, Kiwi businesses are founded and set on a path to navigate the challenging waters of the New Zealand market. Many won\u2019t last the test of time but a few will \u2013 and understanding how they managed it is the secret sauce that many business owners can only dream of.\n\nWe wanted to speak to one of those organisations that has outlasted many in their field, to uncover the secrets of their success.\n\nThat led us to <a href=\"https:\/\/lifecareconsultants.co.nz\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Life Care Consultants<\/a>, a business health and training organisation. This business started in a tiny office in Cambridge, Waikato back in 1994, and despite the overwhelming odds, has gone from strength to strength in 30 years, even as New Zealand changed dramatically around them. How did they manage it? We spoke to Life Care Consultants CEO, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kimrutherford1\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kim Rutherford<\/a>, to find out\u2026\n<h2 id=\"a-clear-mission\">A clear mission<\/h2>\nAs so often with strong businesses, Life Care was born to fit a need that no one had fully realised yet. Life Care was founded by Janet Brothers, who saw a gap in the market for comprehensive first aid training in workplaces that could be done quickly but effectively. As Kim describes,\n\n<em>&#8220;Janet was incredibly innovative in the market, delivering her training in one day when all of the other providers were doing it in two.&#8221;<\/em>\n\nIt required plenty of knowledge and building connections to get Life Care off the ground \u2013 and all from Janet\u2019s office in Cambridge. Now, almost 30 years later, Life Care has blossomed beyond offering first aid training, moving into looking after the overall wellbeing of Kiwi workers as well. The company provides health checks, health and wellbeing workshops, injury management support and training around mental health in the workplace.\n\nIn turn, Life Care\u2019s team has grown from one visionary to a flourishing business made up of workplace wellbeing experts. Kim says,\n\n<em>&#8220;From starting from one small office and then it created a team of almost 100 people. It was really, really impressive.&#8221;<\/em>\n<h2 id=\"life-cares-strengths\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two women are seated in an office, one pointing at a laptop screen while the other leans in to observe\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36715 size-full\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2.png\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px;\" width=\"1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2.png 1728w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-2-440x258.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\" \/>Life Care\u2019s strengths<\/h2>\nSo what was the secret to its business growth and success? Certainly, some can be attributed to Life Care\u2019s ability to transform with the times. As Kiwis\u2019 awareness around wellbeing at work has grown, so too has their offering.\n\nThere\u2019s also something to be said for maintaining the strong relationships that started the business in the first place. For Kim, she attributes it to the Life Care team\u2019s approach to the people they employ, and those they work with.\n\n<em>&#8220;The thing that has been the secret to our success is that we care really deeply about our customers and our people. This year, we&#8217;re celebrating 30 years in business, and we&#8217;re proud to say that many of the companies who partnered with us at the start are still with us today.<\/em>\n<em>\u201cA number of staff who were right there at the beginning of the journey are still working for us today. So that I think is really a unique piece of Life Care and that&#8217;s what sets us apart from competitors.&#8221;<\/em>\n\nBuilding a team that feels supported and enjoys their work is something that as a CEO, Kim is really passionate about. She keenly describes the level of support that her team have sought to enact within the organisation, so that everyone feels heard.\n\n<em>\u201cWe&#8217;ve done a lot of work here on our EVP [Employee Value Proposition] to ensure that as leaders, we understand the roles in the task from an employee&#8217;s perspective, and also the challenges they face within that work environment.\u00a0<\/em>\n<em>And then I think the other thing people forget a little bit is recognition and appreciation \u2013 a simple little \u2019thank you\u2019 to someone can go such a long way. All of those little bits really help to build the culture.\u201d<\/em>\n\nTo maintain and build those strong relationships with their customers, Life Care staff are encouraged to complete their best work. That includes ensuring that everyone is accredited and can offer specific services to each client.\n\n<em>\u201cWe have a whole team of expert training instructors who provide really engaging and educational courses. We also offer a tailored solution. Many of our customers have unique requirements that sit across different industries, soo we&#8217;ve been able to offer flexible and tailored solutions for those clients.\u00a0<\/em>\n<em>\u201cI think the other thing that was really important to Janet was accreditation, so she worked really hard over a number of years to become a Category One excellence training provider under the NZQA standards. And that&#8217;s the standard that we&#8217;ve maintained in the business for many years now.\u201d<\/em>\n\nLife Care\u2019s secret to success is a mix of the old and the new \u2013 understanding what worked in the early days of that Cambridge office, creating strong relationships with team members and clients that last the test of time, but also changing with the times. Janet and her team could have stayed with first aid training, but chose instead to expand their service offering in a way that matched the demands shown in the market. Now, it\u2019s a thriving business with Kim at the helm.\n<h2 id=\"facing-the-challenges\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two women are sitting across from each other at a desk, engaged in conversation\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36716 size-full\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3.png\" style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 16px;\" width=\"1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3.png 1728w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/08\/Image-option-purple-3-440x258.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\" \/>Facing the challenges<\/h2>\nOf course, no business is without its challenges and 30 years in the market was never going to be entirely smooth sailing. One of Life Care\u2019s strengths \u2013 their innovation \u2013 was also one of its biggest challenges. As Kim describes,\n\n<em>\u201cOne of the biggest challenges for Life Care has been the evolution of the market. Customer preferences have shifted, technologies advanced rapidly. So you have to actually innovate as you go through those different changes in each of those areas.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\n\nThat innovation extended beyond their customer offerings, too. The team had to adapt as the business itself changed over time.\n\n<em>\u201cThe other big challenge for us was the evolution from a small owner-operated business to a corporate business. So as a business grows, you have to change and that for us involved process change, culture change, product changes, technology changes. personnel changes, and all of that came with challenges.\u201d<\/em>\n\nWhat did they take from those difficult periods in the business? For Kim and her team, it was a learning experience.\n\n<em>\u201cI think what we took from it is that, as a business, we&#8217;re quite adaptable. We adapted our strategy, we changed products and processes accordingly. We also focused on our customer feedback and what they were wanting, and that allowed us to deliver some extra added-value solutions for them, which maintains loyalty and retention.\u201d<\/em>\n<h2 id=\"looking-into-the-future\">Looking into the future<\/h2>\nWith 30 years under its belt to celebrate, it\u2019s time for Life Care to look ahead. For Kim, as CEO, she has two key focuses in the coming years on top of remaining a leading provider of training and health services in New Zealand.\n\nThe first is Life Care\u2019s people. As Kim describes it, <em>\u201c[I want] our employees to see Life Care as an employer of choice. And to see new people wanting to join to work for an organisation like Life Care.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\n\nAs well as that work completed on their EVP, the Life Care team are working hard on ensuring that they\u2019re listening to every employee on the team. What does that look like in practice?\n\n<em>\u201cWe run regular engagement surveys and feedback surveys that are often anonymous so that we can get some really accurate feedback from our team. And then it allows us to correct anything before it becomes a bigger issue, and we then openly share the results of those.<\/em>\n<em>We also have worked on our competency and training programs for our team. So as we employ a new person, they come into the business and obviously go through a training program that forms their career path within Life Care.\u201d<\/em>\n\nIn addition, they\u2019ve completed work on their benefits package, from celebrating staff anniversaries with gift vouchers to Employee of the Month awards. As workplace wellbeing specialists, they&#8217;ve made sure they walk the walk at home too, offering EAP services and wellbeing incentives to make sure team members are supported.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Three women pose for a picture, smiling with Life Care logo in the background.

Life Care currently uses 91±¬ΑΟ to support their team with HR, culture and payroll, as well as Xero for accounting and Monday.com for day to day work. Then there\u2019s of course the operating systems they use for customer services, with a new health operating system in the works to streamline how data flows through their business.\n\nThat\u2019s not all \u2013 Kim is enthusiastic about the future of tech and what the growth of AI could mean for the business. She\u2019s particularly excited about what AI developments could mean for their service offering, should they use it for data.\n\n<em>&#8220;Data and analytics for us is the next big thing. How do we give real meaningful insights back to our customers so that they can make really informed decisions? The exciting thing for the future for us would be looking at some of those new and emerging technologies and how AI can run through them.\u201d<\/em>\n<h2 id=\"a-healthy-outlook\">A healthy outlook<\/h2>\nNavigating the choppy waters of starting and growing a business isn&#8217;t always easy, but the team at Life Care managed it. Started by Janet Brothers\u2019 hard work and vision, the company has grown and changed with the evolving landscape of New Zealand workplaces. Now, Kim and the team are feeling optimistic about the future. As Kim says in our chat,\n\n<em>\u201cWe\u2019re in a place where it can only go forward and be better and bigger as we move through the years.\u201d<\/em>\n<h2 id=\"in-summary-life-cares-secrets-for-success\">In summary: Life Care\u2019s secrets for success<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Deep care for customers and employees<\/strong>: Life Care places a strong emphasis on caring deeply for their customers and employees.
