Our Impact Initiative

At New Directions, we believe that the workplace should be about more than just the day-to-day. It should be a place where people feel valued, supported, and connected, where we give back to our communities.

That’s why we created The Impact Initiative.

What is The Impact Initiative?

The Impact Initiative is our commitment to celebrating people, supporting wellbeing, building connections, and giving back. Every team at New Directions is given an annual budget to create meaningful experiences that matter most to them.

This means that instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, every team has the flexibility to shape activities that reflect their culture and needs.

What does this mean for our people?

Throughout the year, our people enjoy:

  • Recognition & Celebration – birthdays, milestones, and achievements recognised in fun, memorable ways.
  • Wellbeing Support – from fresh fruit deliveries to yoga sessions, and little treats to boost everyday wellbeing.
  • Team Connection – social events, coffee catch-ups, and seasonal activities to bring colleagues together.
  • Community Impact – team-based Giving Back Days and initiatives that support charities, local businesses, and community projects.

Why we do it

The Impact Initiative is about making an impact where it matters most:

  • For our people – by celebrating and supporting them
  • For our teams – by building stronger connections
  • For our communities – by giving back and making a positive difference

At New Directions, this is more than a perk. It’s part of our culture. By joining us, you’ll be part of a business that invests in its people and makes space for the moments that matter.
