An industry first

The only resilience & readiness partner that shows up in person, and never logs off

Most trainers stop at the workshop. Most software never sets foot on site. ResponseRise is the first and only business in the resilience and readiness space to deliver all services in person across New Zealand and Australia, and back every one of them with full, ongoing access through our own platform. One partner, not two.

Every service is also available online, so the training doesn't end when we leave the room.

Hear from the organisations we've worked with

"We engaged ResponseRise to help us with our emergency response plan and training for our team at Precinct Properties, particularly regarding the Commercial Bay retail Centre in Auckland City. ResponseRise has provided a valuable service and wealth of firsthand knowledge in dealing with emergency or crisis situations in a public environment, and has a professional and engaging approach to their presenting and training sessions. It has been a pleasure to work with ResponseRise on our portfolio of property assets."

"Sam delivered De-escalation & Situational Awareness training for our frontline teams in a high-volume, customer-facing tourism environment. The sessions were excellent - engaging, practical, and highly relevant to the real situations our people encounter every day. Sam's approach, along with his personal real-life examples and stories, kept participants engaged throughout and provided clear, real-world tools that our teams can immediately apply on the job. Feedback from staff has been extremely positive, and our people now feel more confident and better equipped to manage challenging interactions. We would highly recommend Sam and ResponseRise to any organisation looking to strengthen frontline capability and confidence."

"The session was engaging, practical, and tailored to the unique challenges we face in our day-to-day operations. We were provided with clear strategies to identify potential risks, de-escalate situations, even deal with aggressive dog behaviours! Their coaching will help to guide our team in maintaining a safe environment for both our staff and tenants. The team left feeling confident and empowered, with tools we can apply immediately. We highly recommend this training to any business looking to enhance their awareness and safety protocols."
