Kelly Bennion
Culture Analytics – Managing Director and Principal Consultant
I am an analyst, a storyteller, a strategic advisor and a business leader – however at the heart of everything I do I am an environmentalist and take into consideration the impact on our planet of all work I undertake, and advice I give.
Most of my projects involve bringing together quantitative and qualitative employee survey data to derive insights on Employee Experience, Engagement, Retention and Diversity & Inclusion, to answer the question: “How do we create an organisation that people want to be a part of?”
I bring to my projects a rare mix of analytic skill, business psychology and strategic thinking to help my clients really understand what is going on with their people and culture, and how they can make real change happen.
I have over 20 years experience working in and consulting to New Zealand and Australian organisations, have advised well over 80 Senior Leadership Teams – many in multi-year commitments – and have led highly successful teams of consultants to understand and advise on hundreds more.
I work with organisations in all industries, with a focus on community services, not-for-profits, government, animal welfare, and scientific research.

Culture and Experience Management Lead
Think of me as your partner, coach, and support person.
I trained as an organisational psychologist (and psychometrist) and have worked with spectacular organisations of all sizes and shapes, across multiple countries and cultural backgrounds. I love integrating multiple disciplines with creativity (including my knowledge in neuroscience), which I will bring into our sessions.
My work history involves great projects, from large scale strategic change such as organisational design and culture transformation (see IRD’s multi-year transformation project), to working with many small and medium organisations (and non-profits) across all aspects of their employee lifecycle. I can help you with your change efforts, culture, D&I, employee experience, well-being, leadership and workforce analytics. I have a blend of strategic, analytical and personable skills that help me quickly identify and connect opportunities and people.
Although I take a whole-person and whole-system approach in my work, I am pragmatic in the way we create change over time, and I will support you every step of the way.

I love people data, data visualisation and the evolving dynamics of employee experience. Over the past decade I’ve had the privilege of insight into hundreds of local and international organisations, the practices that help organisations function well in different industries, and the way leaders’ efforts shift employees’ work experience. I’ve taken the best of these into a concise practical guide called the ‘Engagement Playbook’, specifically tailored for front-line New Zealand managers who might struggle to understand how to use their engagement survey results. I’m always interested in adding new case studies, tips and tricks to share with other organisations – contact me if you have a story to share.
I have experience in all aspects of the engagement journey, from helping clients articulate their engagement strategy, through the nitty-gritty of planning and building the survey, to storytelling and facilitating discussion among senior leaders and advising on change management. I can dive deep in ‘hot spot’ areas, and with my background in Industrial Organisational Psychology I guide people through 360 feedback, coaching them to improve their leadership capability.
Recently I’ve developed an interest in Data Governance, and between 2021 and 2023 I worked with The Warehouse Group in the Data Steward chapter. This field is still new, driven by the growing recognition of the billion-dollar impact that poor data practices have on New Zealand businesses. Let’s have a conversation about how to get the best from your organisation’s people and data.
