NZ’s First Accredited Healthy Thinking Business
NZ’s First Accredited Healthy Thinking Organisation
Stress and unhealthy attitudes are major challenges for businesses, but are virtually a thing of the past for New Zealand’s fastest growing service business.
MedRecruit is a recruitment agency for doctors, led by Dr Sam Hazledine. With 857% growth over the past three years MedRecruit was recently named the fastest growing service business and the second fastest growing business overall in the Deloitte Fast 50 awards. MedRecruit is the first company in the world to be accredited as a Healthy Thinking organisation by New Zealand’s Healthy Thinking Institute, a world leader in emotional management, stress reduction and attitude improvement.
“Healthy Thinking is really important to any organisation,” says Dr Hazledine, an enthusiast for the teachings of Tony Robbins, and an active personal development teacher of his MedRecruit team. “I loved Healthy Thinking from the time I was first introduced to it. It’s so simple to understand yet effective, and easy to apply across an organisation with a range of different people.
“We also want to make Healthy Thinking available to the doctors we place, to add value to them before they take up their new positions,” he says.
To become an Accredited Healthy Thinking Organisation, the 11 staff of MedRecruit had to exhibit an average unhealthy emotional index below 10%, and to show widespread use of the principles of emotional algebra.
“It’s easy to get buy-in to Healthy Thinking training from staff,” says Dr Sam Hazledine, an Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, “because Healthy Thinking works in their personal lives and in the workplace maximising their ability to enjoy their lives and to provide a world class service to our clients.”
The Healthy
Thinking accreditation was awarded by The Healthy Thinking
Institute, which developed the interventions for workplace
stress reduction and attitude enhancement.
