Case Study – Rebuilding Team Culture for Jordent Construction

Full‐day culture reset for a growing Christchurch builder

Jordent Construction is a Christchurch-based building and restoration company, specializing in residential and commercial projects, including insurance repair work for IAG and other clients. With a tight-knit team of around 15–20 staff, Jordent was entering a growth phase—but the team needed a stronger cultural foundation as new members joined.

The Challenge

Jordent was expanding, but past team dynamics were fragile. With a new team forming, patterns of misalignment and disconnection were surfacing—and leadership knew they needed a fresh start. They wanted more than generic team-building—they needed practical tools to begin well and build long-term cohesion.

The Solution

Thrive led a full-day, custom workshop designed to:

  • Ignite genuine relationships among new team members

  • Define and embed shared core values

  • Provide clear frameworks for culture, collaboration, and communication

Rather than icebreakers, the day focused on real conversations, authentic sharing, and practical tools to create a safe, energising space and lasting alignment.

The Results

What the Jordent team had to say:

“Working with Thrive was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our culture. Luke Hill brought an incredible mix of insight, warmth, and emotional intelligence that created a safe, energising space for our team to connect and grow.”

“Having attended many culture workshops in the corporate world, I can honestly say this was on a whole different level—genuinely impactful, human‑centred, and immediately effective.”

“The shift in morale, collaboration, and team energy was tangible, and we left with practical tools and renewed motivation.”

Quick wins & ongoing impact:

  • Rapid boost in morale and collaboration

  • A shared values framework guiding everyone

  • Tangible tools and clarity for day-to-day teamwork

  • Increased energy and engagement—noticeable from day one

Why It Worked

  • Real-world facilitation: Luke’s frontline experience meant every activity was grounded and relevant

  • Emotional safety first: Careful emotional framing fostered connection and honest conversations

  • Immediate application: Tools and frameworks weren’t “nice-to-have”—they were built for action from day one
