We aim to simply 'Do something extraordinary...' with our lives together at TR. This means to us that we aim to be the best in the world at what we do and that we make a positive difference in peoples lives as we do it. With branches across New Zealand and Australia and already having so many stories that have left a lasting imprint, we feel we are heading in the right direction and we need people like you to help us get there.
Both what we do and how we do it are things that we want to feel proud of. These are our pillars. The pathway to achieving this is to constantly learn, grow and improve... for ourselves, our customer value and our capabilities.
We understand that our overall success is down to the quality of the people we have here at TR Group.
It's our strong belief that the inputs create the outputs.
By taking our time finding the right people for the right jobs and have refined our 3-stage process over the last 15+ years to be one that works for you and us.
In your first year with us at TR you can expect to be invited to our 2 day induction event, TRaction. You might have been to other induction days, we do ours a little different. You’ll spend time with some of the leaders that have been with us from the very beginning and from them you will learn where we’ve come from, where we’re going and understand your place in our team.
Part of our culture is continuous learning, we strive to be better tomorrow than we were yesterday.
At TR Group you’ll have the opportunity to learn about yourself (self-development), the principles of Lean and other
tools and models to help you be the best version of yourself both at work and home.
Lean is part of our culture of continuous improvement, aimed at creating more value for the customer while identifying and eliminating waste. This allows our team to put more time and effort into projects that create a difference.
The OPC programme (named after the Outdoor Pursuit Centre) is all about our development in and outside of the workplace. This voluntary programme is run 2 times a year with 10-15 of the team spending 5 days away at the Tongariro National Park - learning about themselves and how they contribute to a high performing team. We are always looking to improve, and OPC can help identify strengths and blind spots that we may want to turn up or turn down to help us grow. The time away is designed to be challenge by choice - with team building, individual challenges and taking the time to deeply understand yourself. The programme continues back in the workplace with workshops and coaching provided to dig a little deeper for a further 18 months. Many of our team have expressed that their OPC experience was the best thing they have done in their lives!
Skilled is a 3-year learning programme built by us, for us - with a little help from our friend Dr John Edwards who had dedicated his 50+ year career to understanding human potential... he is one of the worlds best! The programme covers tools and models that we can use in everyday life to problem solve, think differently, and create success. These skills help to develop and fine-tune our expertise and help us to feel motivated from within to be great at what we do, and who we are. We cover ways to manage learning slumps, time management struggles, confidence makers, leadership development and more.
The TR team understand that we are only as strong as all the moving parts. We celebrate together, build relationships together, learn together and make a positive difference together. Our culture is one we all hold and care for deeply, with an emphasis on “you get out what you put in”. We challenge each other to respect and contribute to the culture we have built over 30+ years.
We are lucky to have some of the best in the business spend their working career with us at TR, from industry legends, to some of the best support teams we could hope for. We spend more waking hours with our workmates, than we do at home with our loved ones so its important to us as a team to celebrate milestones such as 5,10,15,20 and even 25 years with TR Group.
We consider the community and our team's families an extension of our TR Team, we couldn’t do what we do without the unwavering support of those around us. There are little-big things we can do to say thank you to those who support us.
The team is made up of many different backgrounds and cultures. We love to learn and celebrate diversity throughout the year with the most common language of all: food! Our culture morning teas are a culinary selection of our team's favourite flavours of home, teaching the team about their rich backgrounds.
