EXCELLENCE AWARDEE:

Tarentaal firmly believes that to build a strong company culture as an HR professional you need to lead by example. To her, that means staying true to oneself, acting with integrity, initiating change from within and acting as a role model for an organisation. In fact, her personal motto is, "Helping Kiwis live better every day."

Andrea Tarentaal is a passionate Employee Learning and Development professional dedicated to driving a culture of development and continuous learning at her organisation. Her strengths lie in people and relationship management, critical thinking and delivering behavioural change projects with an innovative twist. Examples of her accomplishments include her introduction of compliance learning to a diverse employee base of over 12,000 professionals, as well as leading the rollout of The Warehouse Group’s Altogether Autism & Neurodiversity awareness programme.

Another point of pride for Tarentaal is the pivotal role she played in the development and introduction of the ‘Family Violence is not OK’ e-learning programme. This training programme aims to equip team members with the knowledge they need to understand family violence, identify its signs, and provide victims with resources and support to get help. Although initially only available to senior leaders, TWG wanted all 12,000 staff members to access and learn from this life-changing initiative. Tarentaal reached this goal by adjusting narratives and delivery methods, developing accessible content for a diverse employee base, and accounting for a wide breadth of language and digital literacy levels. Tarentaal also applied her emotional intelligence and empathy to each stage of the process, which elevated the delivery of this learning initiative and heavily contributed to its success. This effort proved so successful that the Women’s Refuge has even introduced it to their organisation.
