No legal jargon, just plain-language advice and practical tools for community-led organisations
Are you on the board of a community environmental organisation that employs staff?
If you’re a volunteer board member juggling governance responsibilities and employer duties, this practical workshop is for you.
We’ll unpack what it means to be a good employer from the board table – especially when you’re a volunteer yourself. You’ll get a solid grounding in the essentials of New Zealand employment law, and gain confidence in navigating the responsibilities that come with hiring and supporting staff.
You’ll learn how to:
Understand your legal obligations as an employer
Set up clear roles and delegations between governance and management
Support staff wellbeing while maintaining boundaries
Avoid common pitfalls around contracts, performance, and complaints
Build a positive workplace culture through good governance
This is a hands-on session with real-life examples, useful templates, and time for questions. Whether you’ve just taken on an employer role, or want to sharpen your board’s employment practices, you’ll walk away better equipped to lead well and support your team.
On Zoom Tuesday July 1; 6.15 to 7.45pm
