Over that time, Greg says they have received assistance across the many facets of their business. “We have 50 permanent and 100 casual staff employed in a range of areas. “We have attended briefings on changes to holidays and ACC, courses on performance appraisals, workshops on time management and productivity, and worked with advisers to tailor sessions specifically for our staff – particularly around health and safety, which is a key focus for us. “We have also hosted a Table Top Expo and regularly participate in the Wage and Salary Survey. The networking side of the Chamber is really valuable, and will continue to be, as Canterbury businesses band together for the rebuild.
