Did you catch all the workplace amendments introduced in the last year?

2025 saw some of the most significant changes to employment relations in recent years, from criminalising wage theft to introducing new rules for fixed-term contracts and casual employees. And the reform momentum isn’t slowing down: New Zealand is preparing for a major overhaul of the Health & Safety at Work Act, with changes expected to take effect in 2026.

These changes can be tricky to navigate, leaving many business owners unsure about what they need to do. In just 60 minutes, we’ll break down what’s changing, what it means for your business, and how to start the new year on the right foot.

In just 60 minutes:

  • Get Up to Speed Fast: Review all the changes from 2025 and discover the anticipated changes coming in 2026
  • Your Action Plan: Understand what these updates mean for your business and how to put them into practice without the stress
  • Avoid Expensive Mistakes: See real examples of where businesses went wrong last year, including overlooked payroll mistakes
  • Stay Ahead in 2026: Find out how to prepare your business for change and stay ahead of the curve
