GM People & Capability at Palmerston North City Council
Sarah Morris
With over thirty years in the workforce, Sarah’s career has transitioned through three clear and distinct phases, beginning with running her own restaurant and providing advisory services in the hospitality industry. From there, Sarah transferred her skills into business operations and generalist HR management in the NZ contracting and payroll sector.
It was a natural transition into the third and current phase of her career specifically focused on capability and organisational health and productivity from a people perspective. This last phase has predominantly been spent working in large-scale infrastructure construction and maintenance companies and has been during a time of significant technological change and adoption for people leaders.
Sarah is currently the GM People & Capability (technology) for Palmerston North City Council where she is able to really accelerate the integration of people and technology capabilities for best possible outcomes, most importantly workplace wellbeing and job satisfaction.
