Join us for this webcast with economist Shamubeel Eaqub and Business Leaders’ H&S Forum CEO Francois Barton.
The Institute of Directors and the Business Leaders’ Health and Safety Forum invite you to a 45-minute webcast to hear insights from the Forum’s inaugural State of a Thriving Nation report, which provides insights into the New Zealand’s health, safety and wellbeing performance. These insights will be presented in the context of economic cycles and with international comparisons.
Economist Shamubeel Eaqub compiled the report, and he was asked to consider health and safety leadership practices, and how they impact on business decisions, the economic cycle and the upcoming General Election.
Join Shamubeel and Francois as they share the report’s findings, the economic costs of our health and safety performance, and the work government, regulators and business leaders need to do to improve outcomes for all New Zealanders.
