Invite: The true state and cost of New Zealand’s health and safety performance
with economist Shamubeel Eaqub
Kia ora All
I am pleased to invite you to our New Plymouth Forum to hear the insights from our inaugural State of a Thriving Nation report.
This report will be released in late August, and will help us to understand the state of the country’s health, safety and wellbeing performance – in context of the current economic cycle and international comparisons.
We have engaged economist Shamubeel Eaqub to pull this together, considering health and safety leadership practices and how they impact on business decisions, the economic cycle, and the upcoming general election.
Join Shamubeel and myself to hear the insights from this report, the cost of our health and safety performance to the New Zealand economy, and the work government, regulators and business leaders need to do to improve outcomes for our people, businesses and economy.
Thank you to EMA Auckland, Silver Fern Farms, Nelson Chamber of Commerce, BeSafe Taranaki, Port of Tauranga, H.W. Richardson, and Chapman Tripp for hosting these events with the Forum.

Leading Wellbeing: Mindset and practices
Dr Hillary Bennett will be presenting around how our leaders/managers influence the culture of psychological safety in their teams supporting people to thrive at work
In this Webinar, BeSafe Taranaki is going to explore the difficulties that we all face when our Management of Change (MOC) fails. The reasons behind why we have failures in this area and tools that we can bring onboard that can help mitigate these risks.
We have 3 presenters that will talk about what has happened in their workplaces, the reasons why the incidents happened and learned outcomes.
Justine Peterson will carry this forward by providing some tools that we can take onboard and use breakout rooms, so we are all able to discuss and put our ideas forward.
Cutting through the COVID noise – focusing on what matters
This informal and interactive session is an opportunity to hear how various business leaders across NZ and in Taranaki are making sense of the current Omicron surge.
Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum Executive Director Francois Barton will share perspectives from NZ and Australian leaders on how businesses are preparing and responding to increasing rates of positive cases. You will also hear how local Taranaki businesses are supporting their people whilst keeping their businesses operating.
Omicron marks a transition from an exclusive public health crisis, to a health-induced business continuity challenge. This shift is critical to grasp for how we communicate and assure our workers, their families as well as our clients and suppliers.
