Regional Investment Corporation plays a critical role in the lives of regional Australian farmers and communities, and with that comes a particular kind of organisational pressure. Leaders and staff alike navigate complex, high-stakes decisions in an industry where the workforce has to respond to complex environmental pressure points such as drought, bushfires, and fuel prices.
RIC engaged People Powered to build psychosocial safety and culture capability across the organisation as an investment in how people experience their work and how leaders show up for their teams.

People Powered’s partnership with RIC has rolled into year two and beyond the initial engagement.

It is the kind of relationship we value most: one built on trust, shared purpose, and a commitment to the people doing the work.
