Frequently Asked Questions
Coaching
-
Occupational health coaching is a systems-aware, evidence-informed coaching practice that helps workers, leaders, and organisations translate occupational health insight into healthier, safer, and more sustainable ways of working.
-
Occupational health coaching includes many elements of organisational coaching, such as performance, leadership and change, but adds a deeper focus on health, wellbeing and sustainable work. At Kinwork, we believe performance matters, but not at the expense of people’s health. Our approach helps individuals and organisations perform well in ways that are safer, healthier and more sustainable over time.
-
We coach people at every stage of their work journey - from individuals navigating career transitions, to founders looking to reset, to leaders who want to build healthier, more resilient teams. Our coaching blends clarity, resilience, and regenerative thinking so you can thrive at work and beyond.

Our certification programs prepare you to become a certified workplace health coach. Built on ICF-aligned competencies and mapped to global standards (think HCANZA, NBHWC, and UKIHCA), our certification training takes you from entry-level foundations through to advanced practice, equipping you to coach individuals, teams, and organisations to align wellbeing and impact through work.
-
Most coaching programs focus only on personal growth or leadership. Kinwork goes further. We combine coaching excellence with the science of health, wellbeing, and planetary sustainability. That means you’ll learn how to support individuals, influence organisations, and contribute to a regenerative future.
-
Our regenerative framework is a bespoke system that helps organisations balance performance with purpose. It weaves together five elements - Purpose & Strategy, People & Leadership, Systems & Performance, Planet & Responsibility, and Impact & Accountability, to create workplaces that are resilient, sustainable, and future-ready.
Regeneration goes further than zero harm. We actively aim to prevent harm and restore the historical damage to the planet that we're witnessing now.

No. Our Level 1 certification is designed for new entrants, while our gap training and advanced diplomas support experienced practitioners. Wherever you’re starting from, there’s a place for you in the Kinwork ecosystem.

General
-
-
In addition to country specific workplace health and safety laws, in 2022 the ILO made a safe and healthy working environment a fundamental right. That places proactive duties on employers to prevent harm, including harm that may arise from heat, workload, and psychosocial risks.

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. ESG is a global term used in finance, investment, and corporate sustainability reporting. It originated in the early 2000’s through the UN Global Compact and major financial institutions and today it’s used widely around the world.
Environmental: How a company impacts the planet (e.g., climate change, waste, biodiversity).
Social: How a company treats people (e.g., employees, customers, communities, human rights).
Governance: How a company is run (e.g., ethics, board diversity, transparency, compliance).
