The consulting and engineering sector is under increasing pressure. Workloads are high, we are connected far longer than 9-5, and clients are expecting more for less. We know that mental health is a key issue for our sector.

Employers need to provide more than a fruit bowl and a yoga class to create a mentally healthy workplace. We talk to John Fitzgerald at WorkSafe NZ.

We talk to Tektus Pou Whakarae/Director and ACE New Zealand board member Emily Afoa (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Maniapoto) about why it’s important to embrace te reo Māori in the consulting sector and how firms can show leadership.

We talk to Tonkin + Taylor Executive Leader and ACE New Zealand board member Brett Ogilvie (Ngāti Whakahemo, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pākeha) about his journey with te reo and how firms across the sector can show leadership.

A lot of us are working from home at the moment, and for some businesses it’s a permanent set-up as they choose not to have an office base. We talk to Urban Connection director Tony Harrison who shares some insights on how to work from home effectively.

Here at ACE New Zealand we all use Māori words here and there, but for Māori Language Week 2021 it’s time to push ourselves a bit further. We’ve gathered some links below that relate to our mahi, and we’ll be joining the Māori Language Moment at midday tomorrow.
