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
We had an amazing couple of hours touring the working site at Dialog Fitzroy on Wednesday. Most certainly we all came away with a much better appreciation of the absolute hard work that goes into creating all those pipes we see around our industrial sites. The Dialog Fitzroy Production Planners must be on the go 24/7! Thank you, Richard Ellis, for an illuminating morning.












On the 23rd November there will be a site visit to Dialog Fitzroy. This will start with a short meeting, with coffee, ( we will have facilities that people can login to this meeting) followed by a tour of the working site. We will have the opportunity to search for hazards/risks that may not already be controlled. Hosted by Richard Ellis
Please wear your PPE..
Geoff Bourke is hosting a tour of his working site on the 21st March 2023, all members of our Beligned Working Group are very welcome. We will have a short meeting prior, then a tour with the challenge of finding any hazards/risks that are not already monitored. “A fresh set of eyes”


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.
Please review the invitation as there are links to some pre reading
