Through BE Informed, they share updates on legislative changes and best practice, helping employers stay ahead of changes in New Zealand employment law while receiving accessible, cost-conscious support and hands-on guidance. The firm also emphasises practical policies on wellbeing, privacy, and policy development to support compliant workplace cultures.
