About Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd
OUR EVOLUTION: For many years, visitors have known us as Pasefika Consulting & Recruiting Ltd, an organisation dedicated to supporting employers, workers, and communities through recruitment, employment readiness, and workforce support initiatives. As our work expanded beyond traditional recruitment services, so too did our vision.
Today, we are proud to introduce Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd, the strategic workforce development and employer engagement partner of the Destination Aotearoa Ecosystem. While recruitment and workforce referrals remain important components of our work, our focus has evolved to encompass workforce planning, employer partnerships, workforce retention, employment readiness, community integration, and long-term workforce sustainability.
Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd represents the next stage of our journey, bringing together employers, communities, and workforce participants to create practical workforce solutions that support both business success and thriving communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our Process & EMWE Network
The EMWE (Employers of Migrant Workers & Enterprises) Network
A key component of our workforce strategy is the EMWE Network, a growing community of employers, service providers, and industry partners committed to developing sustainable workforce solutions and positive employment outcomes.
Through the EMWE Network, Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd creates opportunities for employers to collaborate, share workforce insights, identify emerging workforce needs, and access practical support initiatives designed to strengthen workforce capability and retention.
The Network serves as a bridge between employers, workforce participants, community organisations, and support services, encouraging a more connected and collaborative approach to workforce development.
The EMWE Network aligns closely with the broader Destination Aotearoa Ecosystem vision of creating stronger connections between businesses, communities, and workforce participants. By bringing together employment, training, wellbeing, and community support services, we help build workforce solutions that not only meet employer needs but also contribute to thriving individuals, families, workplaces, and communities.
Current Workforce Priorities
While Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd supports workforce needs across multiple industries, our current focus is on developing workforce solutions for the aged-care, assisted-living, disability support, home-based care, community services, and assisted-mobility sectors.
We work closely with organisations that share our commitment to supporting the wellbeing, independence, dignity, and quality of life of older persons, people living with disabilities, and those requiring additional support to participate fully in their communities.
Our key strategic ecosystem partner:
Thrive Pacific Enterprises NZ Ltd
This includes supporting the workforce needs of our (Destination Aotearoa) ecosystem partners such as Thrive Pacific Enterprises NZ Ltd, alongside engagement with mainstream healthcare providers, community care organisations, service authorities, and EMWE member organisations seeking workforce solutions, workforce development support, and sustainable workforce pathways.
As New Zealand's population continues to age and demand for community-based support services grows,
Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd is committed to helping build a capable, compassionate, and future-ready workforce that can meet the evolving needs of both service providers and the people they serve.
Sustainable Workforce Outcomes
At Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd, we believe workforce challenges are rarely solved through recruitment alone.
Sustainable workforce outcomes are achieved when employers, workers, families, communities, and support organisations work together toward a common goal. Through strategic employer partnerships, the EMWE Network, and the wider Destination Aotearoa Ecosystem, we are building practical workforce solutions that strengthen businesses, support workforce retention, and create positive social and economic impact across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Our Commitment to EMWE Network Members
At Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd, we recognise that successful on-hire employment & workforce solutions require more than simply matching a candidate to a vacancy.
Our commitment to members of our EMWE (Employers of Migrant Workers & Enterprises) Network is to support the development of sustainable, reliable, and person-centred workforce solutions that contribute to positive outcomes for employers, workers, clients, and their families.
Through our workforce induction processes, employment readiness initiatives, and on-hire referral model, we promote what we refer to as the 4-T Framework for Workforce Excellence:
Talent
We seek individuals who demonstrate the technical competencies, practical skills, qualifications, and professional standards required to perform their role effectively. This includes a commitment to continuous learning, workplace safety, quality service delivery, and industry best practices.
Team-Fit
We understand that workplace success depends on more than technical ability. We assess an individual's ability to work collaboratively with colleagues, supervisors, clients, family members, and multi-disciplinary teams. A strong team fit contributes to positive workplace culture, improved communication, greater workforce stability, and stronger retention outcomes.
Temperament
Particularly within aged-care, dementia support, disability services, and assisted-mobility environments, temperament is critical. We value patience, emotional intelligence, adaptability, resilience, empathy, and the ability to preserve the dignity, independence, and personal choices of those receiving support.
Trustworthiness
Trust is the foundation of every successful care relationship. We promote integrity, professionalism, reliability, confidentiality, accountability, and respect in all workforce engagements. For many clients, support workers become trusted individuals welcomed into their homes and personal lives. Trustworthiness provides reassurance to clients, family members, and employers alike.
Supporting Workforce Solutions & Retention Through the 4-T Framework
Our experience suggests that workforce solutions and retention improves significantly when organisations recruit not only for technical capability, but also for character, values, cultural alignment, and person-centred care attributes.
By promoting Talent, Team-Fit, Temperament, and Trustworthiness, we help create stronger workforce relationships, improved employee engagement, better client outcomes, and more sustainable workforce solutions for the future.
At Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd, our goal is not simply to place workers. Our goal is to help employers identify and develop people who possess the Talent, Team-Fit, Temperament, and Trustworthiness required to build trusted relationships, deliver exceptional care, and contribute positively to the communities they serve.
Our Commitment to Workplace Safety
At Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd, the safety and wellbeing of both the client and the worker remain fundamental principles of our workforce model.
We recognise that many home-based support environments involve unique risks, including manual handling, mobility assistance, personal care activities, emergency response situations, social isolation risks, and situations where workers may be operating without immediate access to colleagues or supervisors.
To promote a safer environment for all parties, our preferred service delivery model for household-based support services is the deployment of a minimum of two Support Workers for every scheduled household care booking or appointment, wherever operationally practicable and appropriate to the client's needs.
Safety, Trust and Workforce Retention
Our experience suggests that workforce retention improves when workers feel safe, supported, valued, and connected to a wider team. Similarly, client satisfaction improves when care is delivered consistently by trustworthy individuals operating within a safe and supportive framework.
For this reason, Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd encourages EMWE Network members and service partners to adopt workforce practices that prioritise:
Talent
Team-Fit
Temperament
Trustworthiness
Workplace Health, Safety and Wellbeing
By integrating these principles into our induction programmes, workforce readiness initiatives, and on-hire & referral practices, we aim to support stronger workforce relationships, better client outcomes, safer workplaces, and sustainable workforce solutions across Aotearoa New Zealand.
At Workforce Solutions NZ Ltd, we believe exceptional care begins with trusted people working safely together. Our commitment is to support employers, workers, clients, and families through workforce solutions that prioritise Talent, Team-Fit, Temperament, Trustworthiness, and Workplace Safety in every engagement.
It’s the key to our success!
