Supporting People with Disabilities

Continuing Your Journey as an Employer

Whether you’ve already hired a carer or are still navigating those early steps, this follow-up workshop is designed to give you further clarity and practical guidance in managing the ongoing employment relationship.

We’ll take a deeper dive into the realities of being a good employer – from strengthening the foundations you’ve already set, to handling day-to-day people matters with confidence. We’ll also explore what to consider when circumstances change and you need to recruit again, helping you feel prepared for what’s ahead.

Leading the session are Robyn and Rebecca, directors of The HR Collab – a Palmerston North-based consultancy that specialises in supporting small to medium-sized businesses with tailored HR advice. With over 40 years of combined experience across New Zealand and Australia, they bring a wealth of knowledge in employment relations, organisational development, and people management. Their collaborative and practical approach ensures you'll walk away with real-world strategies that suit your situation.

No matter if you're new to employing staff or looking to improve how you manage existing relationships, this is a great opportunity to build on what you’ve already learned, get expert guidance, and ask the questions that matter most to you.

Join us for a morning of learning, discussion, and a light breakfast on arrival. Doors open 8.4am Workshop commences 9.30am - sharp.
