Then Lance Burdett will kick off the conference with an interactive workshop at 3.30pm on navigating the complexities of employee emotions. As leaders, we often find ourselves faced with situations that require a delicate touch – whether it's managing an individual angrier than a hungry bear or supporting someone in moments of personal vulnerability. We'll explore the art of providing help, support, and guidance to our employees in various emotional states. From de-escalating fiery encounters to offering a compassionate response when tears fall, we'll uncover the best steps to take, what to avoid, and how fostering a supportive environment can lead to a more resilient and engaged workforce. Please join us after for networking, drinks and nibbles from 5pm. The bar will remain open into the evening.

Empowering Ethical Employment, the 2023 New Zealand Ethical Employers Conference
Welcome to the 2024 New Zealand Ethical Employers Conference. As we collectively navigate 2024, some of us are feeling recharged and optimistic about the possibilities, for others, carrying the weight of challenges from the past four years, there is a palpable sense that the trend is set to continue.
In this environment, NZ Ethical Employers (NZEE) is using this conference as a platform to provide robust support to our employer members. We understand that the complexities of business require a collective and comprehensive response. As we delve into discussions and share insights, we aim to empower our members to not only navigate challenges but also to create workplaces that prioritise the well-being of their employees.
Our commitment to decisive and collaborative action remains unwavering. NZEE brings key stakeholders and influencers together to foster a culture of shared best practices. This includes addressing the mental health challenges that may arise in the workforce due to the intricate interplay of global challenges and personal struggles.
Empowering Ethical Employment, the 2024 New Zealand Ethical Employers Conference serves as a rallying point for employers to engage in forward-thinking discussions and unite in a shared commitment to put people at the heart of business.
This conference gives full effect to NZEE’s vision and mission to improve end-to-end quality of employment, to raise standards, and create a rights-respecting baseline to level the playing field so that competitiveness is not at the expense of the worker. By collectively committing to and promoting these values and principles, we can foster an employment environment that advances the safety, security, and welfare of all people. Join us in shaping a future where ethical values and employee well-being go hand in hand.
