Supporting People with Disabilities: Managing the Employment Relationship

Whether you’ve already hired a carer or are still navigating those first steps, this workshop is designed to give you confidence and clarity in managing the employment relationship. We’ll explore the practicalities of being a good employer – from setting up the right foundations, to managing day-to-day people matters, and considering what to do when you may need to go through the hiring process again.

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 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.
