Beehive to Business with Hon. Brooke van Velden

Wellington Chamber of Commerce & Allen + Clarke present: Beehive to Business with Hon. Brooke Van Velden

As Minister of Internal Affairs and for Workplace Relations & Safety, the Hon. Brooke Van Velden is in charge of a busy program of changes that affect business owners and employees alike.

Changes to health and safety laws, the Holidays Act and personal grievance claims are already underway at a Government level. The status of contractors is now in the spotlight after recent decisions in court.

Any change to employment relations is fundamental to New Zealand business. Don't miss this chance to hear from the Minister about what's underway, what's still to come and the future of the way we work.

This event is part of an ongoing series made possible by an exciting partnership with premier consulting firm Allen + Clarke. Proudly based in Wellington, Allen + Clarke is equally at home advising the Beehive or business alike.
