Welcome from the GM In the absence of any in-person events until further notice, Business North Harbour will continue to offer members online opportunities to connect with relevant subject matter experts. We will also continue to provide members with as much up-to-date and relevant information as we can to ensure that members understand their obligations as legislation changes and have access to any support available to which they are entitled. I would also encourage as many members as possible to support each other by connecting and trading with other local businesses whenever the opportunity arises. In this issue of FYI, we look at reconnecting with colleagues, customers and stakeholders in the wake of Covid-19 lockdowns. We discuss what the future of work in an office /hybrid situation could look like, and we highlight the importance of faceto-face interaction in business and for our general wellbeing. In our Community section, we profile Pet Refuge, who are saving both pets and people. Animal abuse is common in domestic violence so, by providing safe shelter for pets, Pet Refuge removes a significant barrier for people (usually women) seeking to escape an abusive relationship. In closing, I wish you all well, and the BNH Team look forward to seeing you in-person in the not-too-distant future. Kia kaha
FOLLOWING WHAT HAS generally been a classic Kiwi summer, most people had seen a positive start to the new year. However, we now live in uncertain times when a change in circumstances can adversely affect our lifestyles at the drop of a hat. The confirmation of the arrival of Omicron, which has seen the country enter the Red setting under the Covid-19 Protection Framework, sadly proving to be case in point, with any early air of positivity being dealt a blow by this swift change in settings. As the presence of the Omicron variant gathers pace, this fosters uncertainty regarding the challenges that lie ahead for business. Fortunately, organisations have adapted their operating models, either voluntarily or as part of a government mandate, to include all the necessary systems and processes required to enable them to keep trading at some level, whilst keeping their staff and customers as safe as possible. This means that many businesses are as fully operational as they can be under the guidelines, hoping to make the best of what, for some members, will be limited opportunities. Business and consumer confidence have both taken another hit due to this uncertainty which remains a constant challenge for businesses as they try to plan for both the short and longer-term. Some will face the challenges associated with staff having to isolate for extended periods in addition to the ongoing challenges of the supply chain, rising material and fuel costs, and current staff shortages, all of this in the face of reduced financial support from the government wage subsidy.

IN BRIEF
Jack Hinton Drive JOHN DANIEL HINTON, VC, was born in September 1909 in Colac Bay, Southland. He was awarded the Victoria Cross (VC) for his actions on the night of 28 April 1941 at Kalamata during the evacuation from Greece. When German troops entered the port, apparently tired of retreat, Sgt Hinton rallied a counter-attack. Official records say that he yelled, “To Hell with this, who’ll come with me?”, and the citation for his VC states that he then: “ran to within several yards of the nearest gun; … he hurled two grenades, which completely wiped out the crew. He then came on with the bayonet followed by a crowd of New Zealanders. German troops abandoned the first 6″ gun and retreated into two houses. Serjeant Hinton smashed the window and then the door of the first house and dealt with the garrison with the bayonet. He repeated the performance in the second house and as a result, until overwhelming German forces arrived, the New Zealanders held the guns. Serjeant Hinton then fell with a bullet wound through the lower abdomen and was taken prisoner.” He spent the remainder of the war as a POW. nzhistory.govt.nz explains: “The announcement of the award of the Victoria Cross was made on 17 October 1941. In a departure from custom, Hinton was presented with the ribbon of his medal by a German general at a camp parade. Characteristically, Hinton was at the time being held in solitary confinement after one of several escape attempts.” After the war, JD (as he was known to his friends) returned to New Zealand, became a publican, and was also involved in horse racing. He retired to Christchurch and died in 1997. Throughout his military career, Sgt Hinton had been intolerant of formality and protocol. Still, his biographer Gabrielle McDonald, who also wrote his obituary, took issue with anyone who called him a rough diamond. “A diamond, most certainly, but not rough. He was a gentle, generous and intelligent man who commanded respect wherever he went.” To learn more about Sgt Hinton, you might like to read this article: stuff.co.nz/southland-times/news/ features/79102085/the-man-behind-the-bayonet 4

IN BRIEF
B U S I N E SS N H .O R G . N Z
Stay safe; don’t let the sparks fly IN THE 12 months to September 2020, there were more than 1,100 fires in Aotearoa that started from an electrical appliance. Many of these were overloaded multi-boards causing appliances to short circuit, flammable materials too close, or mechanical/ operating failures. Greg Cramond of Cramond Electrical Services says he’s concerned about the worrying number of high-risk set-ups he encounters day-to-day. “Older homes often have the original, outdated switchboard,” he explains. “In the event of an electrical malfunction, I’ve seen many circuit breakers that don’t trip, and many fuses that don’t blow when they need to. This is often the cause of fires. The heat builds up as the resistance (fault in an appliance or multiboard) increases, and the longer this goes on, the more likely there will be a serious fire. “A home is like a car in that it too needs maintenance and check-ups to remain safe. A full check over by a qualified electrician is a great way to get peace of mind for the place you lay your head.” Greg’s comments are echoed by Steve Turek, Fire and Emergency NZ’s national manager community readiness and recovery. “We use electrical appliances, like the stove, bathroom fan, electric blanket or phone charger, every day, so it’s easy to forget that they can have a risk of fire.” He advises turning off appliances when they’re not in use, including the stove if you need to walk away from cooking. Also, do not overload multiplugs – use a quality branded one if you can, and stick to one appliance per socket. “Contact an electrician if you’re worried about the condition of your appliances,” he urges. “If you notice anything concerning like smoke or sparks from an appliance, please call 111. We’d rather help you with a small flame, than be putting out a house fire.”
80 tails telling 80 tales WHALE TALES 2022 is an immersive public art trail in parks, streets, and open spaces all around Tāmaki Makaurau. Each giant tail is inspired by a healthy ocean and designed by some of Aotearoa’s most talented artists. WWF-New Zealand has partnered with Wild in Art, Auckland Unlimited, and Harcourts NZ to bring the trail to Auckland and raise awareness of the vital work WWF-New Zealand does to look after our ocean, including the Hauraki Gulf and its endangered resident, the Bryde’s whale. Every tail has its own tale too, so you can soak up the rich stories as you journey through the trail. And the legacy of Whale Tales continues long after the trail ends. The sculptures will be auctioned to raise funds for WWF-New Zealand’s vital work to protect and restore the Hauraki Gulf and the Bryde’s whales that call it home.

The art trail runs until 18 April. To get involved, download the trail map from whaletales2022.org and the Whale Tales 2022 app from the App Store or Google Play.

Across the North Harbour Business Improvement District 4 December 2021 DAY 2 OF Aotearoa New Zealand’s new Covid-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system) was an auspicious occasion! As we began adjusting to life in a “red zone”, Auckland’s enthusiastic bargain-hunters made their way to North Harbour, eager to support their favourite local retailers. Despite significant recent and ongoing challenges (for example: supply chain issues), nearly 30 BNH members opened their doors to welcome back shoppers. Some were ONE DAY SALE veterans, like Waitematā Honey, Tech Outlet, and Mr Vintage; others, such as Impex, were first-time participants. Although border controls may have impacted visitor numbers – some regulars (usually) come from as far as Tauranga – there was still a good buzz. Linen House opened at 8.00 am and estimated 80 customers in their first hour. Several business owners commented how great it felt to reconnect with customers after so long operating only online or via click & collect. ONE DAY SALE is Tea Total’s only annual sale, so, for them and many others, it was a pleasure to be able to enjoy some sort of normality. This view was clearly shared by shoppers too. There was friendly chat and laughter, along with excellent compliance of mask-wearing, scanning, and patiently observed social distancing.
2022 is ONE DAY SALE’s 10th anniversary! We’re looking forward to a celebratory bumper event towards the end of the year. 6

A GP or nurse in the general practice can offer someone experiencing distress or issues the option of seeing the HIP in the same location quickly – often immediately.

Have your say on Auckland Council’s Annual Budget Since my last update in November last year, Business North Harbour (BNH) has continued to advocate for members utilising a variety of opportunities and platforms.
WE HAVE HAD online meetings with the Ministry of Social Development and our local MPs highlighting the ongoing concerns for our members relating to a number of different topics, including the need for increased and ongoing financial support, the effects of rising raw material and fuel costs, and the ongoing labour shortage and issues with the supply chain. We have been very proactive in encouraging consumers to continue to buy local and utilise locally available services, also encouraging local
businesses to engage with other local businesses for their goods and services whenever they can.
Submissions
BNH has also made formal submissions to Auckland Council on the Property Maintenance and Nuisance Bylaw 2015 Review and NZ’s Three Waters Reform, both of which were recently open for public consultation. Sarah de Zwart has been busy preparing submissions on several transport-related issues, including Auckland Transport’s highly controversial parking strategy.
Auckland Council’s Annual Budget Consultation on Auckland Council’s Annual Budget for 2022-2023 runs from 28 February to 28 March. The mayor’s proposals include: • $1 billion climate action package
funded by a new targeted rate
• Maintaining general rate rises at 3.5%
as agreed in the 10-year budget
• Food scraps collection extension
funded by a targeted rate
• Kerbside refuse charging policy review • Changes to other fees and charges
There are also some other proposals that will affect you and your property or business, so please make sure you have your say before the deadline. Follow the link to access the council website akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/ hub-page/annual-budget-2022-2023
Activate North
The working group for the Activate North initiative, formerly known as Shore Unity, have continued to raise awareness and gather support for their project as they look to work closely with central and local government and other key stakeholders to achieve positive growth and development north of the Harbour Bridge. This initiative has become even more important with recent changes allowing housing intensification, which will bring further increases in the population with very few business development opportunities identified to provide what will be much needed employment options.

Bringing friends and whānau together

With stateof-the-art videoconferencing in its smart meeting room, the hotel has brought teams apart closer together. And now, the team at the Ramada is enjoying the chance to bring families together. With so many weddings (and birthday and anniversary parties) postponed in 2020 and 2021, the chance for friends and whānau to reconnect
at these celebrations has never been more welcome. Ramada by Wyndham Albany is an ideal accommodation choice for wedding parties and their guests. It’s not only convenient for the North Shore, but handy for the City and West Auckland too. “Vineyard venues in the Coatesville, Kumeu and Waimauku district are very popular,” says general manager Jacqui Cheal. “They can provide a beautiful setting for that most special day – and the team and I love to play our part too.” The hotel’s two-bedroom apartments are often in-demand for wedding parties, as they provide a comfortable space for groups to enjoy the ceremony preparations together. “We have such fun giving brides and their entourage a warm send-off through reception!” As well as two-bedroomed apartments, the Ramada offers studio king rooms and one-bedroom suites, each with its own full kitchen and laundry facilities. Jacqui confirms that they’re already taking bookings for the next spring/ summer wedding season. “If you’ve ever organised a wedding, you’ll know that the ‘to do’ list can be as long as your arm,” laughs Jacqui. “So, get the accommodation ticked off early and save yourself a bit of stress. Just give us a call or pop in for a chat, and let’s see how we can make your big day even more memorable.”

TIME TO RECONNECT
Rebuilding pre-pandemic relationships
After so many months of being required to work from home (WFH), the world is gradually returning to a physical workplace, in one way or another. Many employers and employees have relished the chance to get back to some kind of “normal”, while others have felt anxious and less willing to leave their home office. Any kind of transition can be stressful, especially in a time of so much uncertainty. So, how do we reconnect with each other, our customers, and stakeholders as we move out of Zoom mode? And what might the work model for the office-of-the-near-future look like? In the first of a two-part series, FYI looks at the principles of restoring those pre-pandemic relationships. 12
Hybrid working – the best of both worlds? As well as prompting a massive surge towards digital strategies, Covid restrictions have highlighted that flexible working doesn’t negatively impact productivity. In fact, overall, it’s been quite the opposite. So, could hybrid working, a combination of WFH and office, be the ideal solution for both business efficiency and connectedness? In an interview with BBC Worklife, Elora Voyles, an industrial organisational psychologist and people scientist at Tinypulse in California, said that hybrid working seemed like the perfect option at the start of the pandemic. “For bosses, it means they retain a sense of control and that they can see their workers in person. For employees, it offers more flexibility than full-time in the office and means they can work safely during the pandemic.” But, as time went on, it became clear that things weren’t that simple. A survey
by Samsung UK found that, although 56 per cent of workers said they had become more productive as a result of hybrid working, one in five were struggling to switch off from work, and almost a quarter felt as though they worked all hours or worked late into the night. The positive news was that 59 per cent were savouring the extra time they were able to spend with their family.
“Research has shown that teams who share positive emotions together are stronger and more resilient.” Therefore, while the demise of the office has almost certainly been over-estimated, BBC Worklife suggests that its purpose is evolving. Businesses are looking at more adaptable designs and changing floorplans, functions, and technologies. There is a particular trend towards larger communal areas designed to foster creativity and a feeling of connection. Rather than retaining
C OV E R STO RY
B U S I N E SS N H .O R G . N Z
the pre-pandemic idea of a place to go every day simply to work for eightplus hours, the office can now be where teams get together periodically to collaborate, support each other, and reignite company culture. For employees who enjoy and benefit from remote working, this model could reduce the psychological stress and physical challenges of having to duplicate their working day for two locations. It also nurtures the crucial function of face-to-face interaction. Joe Hart, president and CEO of Dale Carnegie Training, agrees but acknowledges that, in these unconventional times, “it will take plenty of diligence and intention to foster an engaging hybrid workplace environment between those working in the office and at home.” He recommends three strategies:
Focusing on strong team-building initiatives
Numerous virtual and face-to-face activities can be incorporated into a hybrid work model to help overcome potential feelings of disconnect. For example, ice-breaker questions, such as “Who is one person you’d like to acknowledge or thank?” can be used for combined remote/face-to-face meetings. “The team member [on Zoom] can type a colleague’s name into the chat function and then explain why they want to thank them,” Joe explains.
Creating opportunities for teams to share experiences “Research has shown that teams who share positive emotions together are stronger and more resilient. Specific emotions and feelings we’ve identified here at Dale Carnegie that promote engagement and resilience include connection, value, and empowerment.
Even now, surveys regularly show that more than 80 per cent of us would prefer to meet in person. ning and intention into operating within a remote or hybrid workplace. Continued professional development and interpersonal relationships should be top priorities. With hard work and resilience, these goals can be achieved in any workplace format.”
Face-to-face still really matters…
These shared emotions can occur much more naturally when teams are working together in person.”
Keeping employees’ professional development in mind
Although staff development and continued learning opportunities may not be top of mind for many business owners presently, it’s a valuable workplace element that shouldn’t be overlooked for too long. “With many employees working from home and in-person meetings not always feasible, consider the capabilities of live training and instruction via video communication platforms like Zoom. This will ensure each team member has the same opportunity to engage and feel connected.” Joe Hart concludes, “While these transitions between remote and in-person work are not easy, it’s essential that organisational leaders put as much plan-
The late Steve Jobs, entrepreneur, CEO and co-founder of Apple Inc, believed absolutely in the power of in-person get-togethers. “Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions,” he said, urging businesses not to give in to the temptation of trying to develop ideas solely by e-mail or other digital means. Even now, when we’ve all had to become so familiar with digital platforms like Zoom or MS Teams, surveys regularly show that more than 80 per cent of us would prefer to meet in person. And certainly, it would be nigh on impossible to cultivate company culture and assuredness of psychological safety entirely online. Writing for Harvard Business Review, Robert Hooijberg and Michael D Watkins, professors at the International Institute for Management Development, go into greater depth about this, defining the “four broad dimensions of impact” in management development – collaboration, innovation, acculturation, and dedication – and saying how hard it would be to achieve and sustain these without in-person interaction. Going further, the professors explain that these four elements are fostered by five “design drivers”: • • • • •
Purposeful focus Interpersonal bonding Deep learning Unencumbered experimentation Structured serendipity (precisely what Steve Jobs was talking about – accidentally stumbling onto something amazing while discussing something else entirely)
They suggest that businesses could incorporate “unstructured time”, such as dinners, walks, or shared recreational activities. “You do this to encourage informal exchanges as they often lead to important creative insights, while at the same time deepening interpersonal connections.”

…but don’t lose your focus on digital! Many organisations have spent the past 24 months developing and strengthening their digital space – website, social media, e-commerce, YouTube channel, and the like. Clients have become accustomed to browsing products, watching explainer videos, learning more about company values, and placing enquiries online. Even as face-to-face interactions become more frequent, these customer expectations remain, so it’s essential not to waste the investment you’ve made in your web presence. Communicating with integrity online involves such elements as: • Personalised messaging • Assuring people that they matter and
are important to you
• Being accessible and responsive • Sharing company values through more
than words – videos of your community projects, fundraising activities, support for good causes, the team workspace

Business owners may wish to re-evaluate the staffing of their digital function, potentially upskilling the team to confidently engage via online chat, create stories that resonate with social media followers, and explore the opportunities of live streaming. Moreover, with videoconferencing inevitably being a significant part of business communication for the foreseeable future, companies that offer this option will help reassure stakeholders, suppliers and customers of their consideration for everyone’s health and wellbeing.

Integrity
Resolution
Expectations
Time & Effort
Personalisation
Empathy
Using research that involved more than one million customers across three continents, KPMG Nunwood of the UK developed a system that spotlights six fundamental principles as the building blocks for customer experience success: personalisation, integrity, expectations, resolution, time and effort, and empathy. 14
“The six pillars articulate the elements of a target experience that drives both loyalty and advocacy, and they should lie at the heart of any organisation’s customer experience strategy, providing a framework for both implementation and measurement.” Arguably, in 2022, personalisation and empathy have never been more crucial –
not just for the customer experience but for employee experience also. In the next issue of FYI, we’ll discuss how to put the theory into practice – the communication and interpersonal skills that can help strengthen reconnections, and contribute to awesome company culture and brand loyalty.

‘Connecting with others gives us a sense of inclusion, connection, interaction, safety, and community’ By Jodi Tuffin, Investor Relations Manager
WITH THE OFFICE landscape evolving at a rapid rate, the opportunity for all of us to come together (safely) is more important than ever. Reconnection with people involves a commitment that initially can feel foreign. If we cannot reconnect safely in person, how do we effectively reconnect with our clients so that they have the same experience with Maat Group, but online? How will the people we are connecting with understand our business without the typical nuances that people have come to “see” to build camaraderie? How will they sense our happiness, our passion, our empathy if we are only communicating through words typed on a keyboard? This is a common conundrum all businesses face as we pivot ourselves for the online world, which will become more ensconced in our way of working in the future.
Maat Group has always held pride in our face-to-face meetings with people – our investors, our contractors, and our staff. It has been a challenge to maintain that same level of personal relationships for which we are well-known. For our team, it has been a conscious shift to change our style of meetings into effective Zoom calls, personal phone calls, emails, letters and cards. With our inves-

tors, our relationships continue to thrive through these media. One way that has worked for us to connect with our investors is to offer people the opportunity to use the technology available ahead of scheduled meetings. This helps them feel more at ease. Any investor who is unfamiliar with online meetings has the opportunity to be walked through the process on the phone while simultaneously helping them on their computers. This allows them to stay connected with not only us, but any friends or family or other companies who use a similar medium to connect. Knowledge is power, after all. The simple act of taking the time to explain how to use technology to stay connected provides the opportunity for us to continue taking that personal approach with our clients. They matter greatly to our company and to us personally. It is what keeps our company striving to provide investment opportunities for our clients, with them at the forefront of our business. An extract from our Mission Statement below reflects the importance we place on the relationships we form with our clients: “We will place our clients first, by developing and maintaining relationships based on trust and integrity”.

Australasia’s biggest ever electric bus order will remove 10,000 tonnes of emissions annually
Northern Corridor Improvements There’s light at the end of the tunnel
Work on the SH1 to SH18 link has broken through underground, and light can now be seen in the underpass. Excavation has been ongoing since July, and, in total, the team is removing approximately 16,000m³ -the equivalent of six Olympic sized swimming pools. There is still much work to do to remove the rest of the material from the underpass, and then focus switches to all the elements that make this “hole” a functioning part of the state highway network with features 16
“Having already halted the purchase of new diesel vehicles and rolled out 33 electric buses on more than 13 services throughout the region, this is another step towards a zero-emissions bus fleet for Tāmaki Makaurau. It’s encouraging to see Auckland Transport and NZ Bus working together to make that happen.” The BEVs will be deployed across four years, with plans for the first group to be driving the Tāmaki Link from October this year, followed by other services operated from the central and east Auckland bus depots. Speaking at the end of last year, AT’s outgoing CEO Shane Ellison says it’s critical that carbon emissions are reduced across the globe. “As an organ-
isation, Auckland Transport is dedicated to doing our bit by actively supporting the goals of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan. “We are well on our way in transitioning to an emissions-free public transport fleet by 2040, which will have a myriad of benefits for Tāmaki Makaurau – including improved air quality within the city centre and healthier communities. “Within the last 18 months, we’ve introduced 33 new electric services in the city, Waiheke Island, as well as the new AirportLink service connecting with electric trains at Puhinui Station for a carbon-free trip to Auckland Airport. The announcement of 152 additional electric buses is extremely positive for our city.”

To try and minimise disruption on the Auckland network, the upgrade of the SH18 westbound on-ramp is being completed in stages. In this way, this section of the road has remained open during the day.

IN A PARTNERSHIP between Auckland Transport (AT) and NZ Bus, Australasia’s largest electric bus order will see a further 152 battery-electric buses (BEVs) on Auckland’s roads. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the AT Metro bus fleet by an estimated 11 per cent per year – almost 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually (relative to 2019 emissions). The BEVs will replace around 12 per cent of the diesel bus fleet in Auckland, in alignment with AT’s Low Emission Bus Roadmap 2020 (LEBR). Mayor Phil Goff commented: “With transport making up more than 40 per cent of Auckland’s emissions profile, it’s crucial that we pull every available lever to reduce emissions.

Helping pets and their families escape domestic violence CRUELTY TO ANIMALS is common in domestic violence. People who use violence will often threaten, injure, and even kill a pet to control family members. Based in rural Auckland (the exact location is protected for security reasons), Pet Refuge provides temporary shelter and care for pets while their owners escape abuse. The shelter is the brainchild of Julie Chapman, the founder and CEO of KidsCan. When she realised that fear for their beloved pet’s safety was why people (usually women) delay leaving their abuser, she felt compelled to act. “For many people, pets are family. For victims of domestic violence, they provide real solace. Leaving them behind with an abusive partner just isn’t an option. We hope that if victims know their pets will be well looked after while they escape, it will remove a barrier to leaving.” Since the shelter opened its doors in August 2021, the team has helped 90 pets and their families, and more than 50 of these have been reunited. Anna is one of several brave survivors whose stories are shared on Pet Refuge’s website. “I owe my life to Pet Refuge, to be honest. I wasn’t safe at home, I feared

is because, at certain times of the year, shipping lines look to reposition refrigerated containers back to New Zealand for dairy, meat, and produce exports. “Vessel bunching”, when several boats arrive simultaneously, is another issue. “The ports process the vessels as fast as they can, but a sudden influx of containers will have a knock-on effect for trucking. If the containers aren’t removed from the port quickly, the client could end up incurring demurrage charges at the port.” FAK (Freight All Kind/LCL) container unpacking depots typically used to have cargo available three days after the container discharged the vessel. “Today, it’s between seven to nine days, and the effects of Omicron will likely push this out further.” The good news is that Antony can see some glimmers of positivity as shipping companies reinvest in bigger, better vessels with greater capacity and improved fuel efficiency. “These don’t just pop up overnight. We think we’ll see these start to come online from late-2023.” With the government reopening borders to international travellers, this should also help as air travel resumes. “More airlines coming into New Zealand should ease some of the pressure on airfreight and, hopefully, air freight rates will consequently decrease,” he says.

Communication is key! WHEN THE COVID-19 crisis first erupted, businesses across New Zealand were plunged into the uncertainty of how to navigate through such unprecedented times. Businesses have spent the last two years implementing workplace changes in response to the everchanging landscape and this has required employers and employees having to adapt to new ways of working. Many employers have introduced remote working to keep the business wheels turning. Yet, switching to remote working can often lead to a disconnect between an employee and employer with differing levels of expectations between the parties. The issue is simply a lack of communication. Remote workers often feel isolated from their team and are unsure of workload expectations. Whilst those who work on-site can feel trepidation around any health/safety risk and some even feel embarrassed about being asked to disclose their vaccination status before returning to work. Likewise, employers are not sure what parameters to set for working arrangements, whether they can compel staff to be vaccinated and even find themselves worrying about produc22
tivity levels for those remote working. So how do the parties navigate this minefield? Well, the best way is simply by communicating with one another. Keeping in touch with your team is an effective way to manage both parties’ expectations. Managers should have regular catch-ups with their team to ensure everyone feels supported and to set work expectations from the outset. Similarly, employees should not be afraid to speak up if they’re unhappy in any way. Communication works both ways – in fact, it is a legal obligation posed on both parties. Employment law requires both parties to engage in good faith and the early communication of workplace concerns is key if the employment relationship is to remain on foot (important with today’s labour shortages). Work-related grievances could so easily be avoided if the parties just spoke about their concerns rather than opt straight for resolution via the more formal channels of mediation or the Employment Relations Authority which only destroys the employment relationship and puts both parties to expense and heaps of stress. Yet, we are
seeing an influx of cases which could so easily have been avoided just because the parties didn’t feel connected or able to engage with one another. As we are all now living and working in a “new normal” it is important that we all try to adapt to change. However, reactions to change can be different for everyone – there is no “one size fits all”. So, as business owners we need to accept that any change in our working arrangements may be easier for some to adapt to than others. The important point is to continually communicate with the workforce – make sure your managers stay in regular contact with their team (on-site or remotely) and encourage employees to come forward with any concerns. Sometimes issues can be resolved simply by sitting down and talking!

Driveline’s SmartFleet: taking care of you, your team, and your business COVID-19 HAS BROUGHT to the fore initiatives and opportunities to rationalise business processes and look for ways to simply do things better. Vehicle maintenance and management is often relegated to a “will review when I get a chance“ -type operating expense, and mostly gets forgotten about. Clients continue to run everything to do with their company vehicles on simple old spreadsheets, potentially missing out on a wealth of information which is available when some critical analysis is undertaken from well-managed data. It is also quite rare to have a client fully recognise the fact that a company supplied car is as much a workspace as an office or workshop and has similar obligations under H&S legislation. So, do you know how much your vehicles are costing to run on a cents/km basis?
Do you have automated reminders sent to drivers when a WOF or RUCs are due? Do you hand on heart recognise a company vehicle as a workplace, and do you carry out regular inspections on those vehicles to satisfy current H&S expectations? Do you have any exception reporting presented monthly on fuel usage? If a driver lost their licence over the weekend and failed to inform you, how useful would a nice e-mail from us be first-thing Monday morning? If the answer is no to most of these then an integrated, straightforward fleet management programme that runs and reports on vehicle maintenance and expenses but also manages all

From now on, Consumer NZ will only recommend appliances that last IN THE MOST significant update to its products testing system since the 1960s, Consumer NZ is incorporating a lifetime performance score to help shoppers buy appliances they know will last. “It’s no longer good enough for products to just perform well when they’re new. We’re the first international consumer organisation to only recommend durable appliances that work well for a long time,” said Consumer NZ product test manager Dr Paul Smith. “This new test criteria have been a long time in the making. We haven’t thrown out our heritage. We still assess ‘as-new’ performance, but we’re now including measures of reliability, owner satisfaction and repairability,” Dr Smith explained. This new lifetime scoring system has been applied to washing machines and standard (canister and upright) vacuum cleaners on its website. The new scoring will be rolled out to other products, starting with large appliances, and only models that perform well and meet all three measures will be recommended.
The scoring change comes in response to manufacturers building products that don’t last and can’t be repaired – an unsustainable “take, make, waste” approach. “We need to see waste as a design flaw. Recycling is important, but it’s a last resort to divert materials from landfill. We need to create products designed to be repaired, reused and refurbished.” Consumer NZ has been running an annual reliability survey for more than a decade. Feedback from this survey drove the changes in test reporting. “Consumers have told us that appliances don’t last as long as they used to, and they are getting increasingly harder to repair. This means shoppers are paying for needless replacements, and the planet pays by another appliance ending up at the tip,” said Dr Smith. In the future, lifetime performance scores will also include repairability, which assesses how easy it is to repair a faulty product.

Aotearoa’s EV fleet up by more than 50% in 2021 MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT figures reported by Autofile show the number of new and used electric vehicles (EVs) in New Zealand at the end of last year was 37,136. That’s an increase of 54.1 per cent on the previous 12 months. These figures include battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and heavy EVs (classed by Waka Kotahi NZTA as 12 tonnes and above). 24
A sharp increase in EV sales in the second half of 2021 followed the introduction of the government’s clean car rebate scheme. The 1,616 registrations in December comprised 1,267 new light vehicles, 339 used light vehicles and 10 heavy EVs. BNH member Advice First, which has its local offices in Parkway Drive, recently changed out its fleet of 20 vehicles to hybrids. Financial adviser George Allbury
says the move was part of the company’s goal to do what it can to support the environment and is aligned with other green initiatives. “We offer
socially responsible investing and are reducing paper use by investing in cloud-based systems to support our advisers’ advice processes and the client experience. “While the positive environmental impacts were front of mind for upgrading the fleet, vehicle running costs have also fallen significantly – which has been hugely beneficial as we see petrol prices continue to increase,” he observes.

IT MIGHT SURPRISE some people to know that the greatest volume of waste in the Auckland region comes from construction and demolition, more than double the total waste from all household collections in the area. Auckland produces around 600,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste each year. That’s the equivalent of 23,155 shipping containers. An average new house build produces 4.5 tonnes of waste, with materials worth more than $31,000 if they were saved rather than sent to landfill. To put it into perspective, you’d have to set your kerbside bin out weekly for more than 30 years to generate that much waste. Mark Roberts, Auckland Council’s senior waste planning advisor, waste solutions, says that qualitative research undertaken by the council to better understand sentiment towards waste reduction has revealed that any changes to the methods used to deal with waste need to clearly articulate the industry benefits, ensure external market structures provide the capability to act sustainably, and be backed by regulation. Contractors and builders are also wary of adding time, complexity, and risk to the project. The industry feedback also identified better practices for engaging the customer, designing the job site, and standardising materials to reduce waste.

Working together to minimise construction waste
For example:
• Work with designers to design waste
out at the initial stages of concept and planning the build • Encourage contractors to provide more than one option of pricing/services for waste management and let the customer decide • Ensure the contractor has a site waste minimisation plan to plan out and separate waste and to eliminate waste escaping from site • Offer multi-bin options that work for
small sites with a colour-coded system for the different types of materials • Work with suppliers to reduce waste on packaging • Create an on-site waste management mental shortcut system for staff and contractors to engrain positive behaviours easily, and introduce waste into induction and toolbox discussions.

Based in Takapuna, Turner Hopkins is a law firm with nearly 100 years’ service to the business community and residents of the North Shore and wider Auckland region.

Strong demand in the office market WHEN WE ENTERED the first Covid-19 lockdown two years ago, the sentiment was that the vacancy level in the office market would increase immensely due to businesses working from home. As employees adapted by setting up their offices at home and communicating through videoconferencing software, their resilience created a home/office environment that worked well. However, as the great philosopher Aristotle once wrote, “Man is by nature a social animal”. It became evident that, after the Auckland lockdown in 2022, even though businesses had good processes and communications in place internally and with customers, the demand to get back to the office is very strong. CEOs and managing directors have accepted that employees are productive and the work gets done. Still,
they have recognised that human beings are wired to connect with the importance of synchrony and team flow. Colliers has experienced a high level of leasing and purchasing demand. Here’s just a snapshot of some recent relocation transactions:

Banks less likely to lend following CCCFA changes THE CREDIT CONTRACTS and Consumer Finance Act (CCFA) is designed to help protect borrowers by ensuring that lenders keep accurate records of how they calculate the credit being offered and potential default fees. However, recent amendments to the CCCFA have prompted several news reports of how borrowers’ spending habits have been put under the microscope. Moreover, in a survey released by independent economist Tony Alexander earlier this year, 83 per cent of mortgage brokers questioned said that banks had reduced their willingness to lend. And, 52 per cent reported that fewer first-home buyers were coming forward for a mortgage.* Business North Harbour member, Glen McLeod of Edge Mortgages, has been assisting residential and commercial clients for more than 20 years. He concurs with the survey’s findings and says it’s vital that would-be borrowers 28
get organised in advance to put themselves in a strong position to obtain financing. As a starting point, he advises to:
• Be mindful of all spending •
•
•
•
•
for at least three months Try and minimise all short-term debt, and perhaps consider debt consolidation as part of your lending Seek advice from a financial adviser specialising in lending, and discuss what you need before you need it Have a plan in place for at least three months before you apply for funding (to enable spending changes) If you have a boarder paying cash, get them to start paying into your bank account – otherwise this will not count as boarder income Review all your financial commitments, including insurance and utilities. Can
you make savings, and are they fit for purpose?
“It’s very easy to listen to people’s stories and become fearful of the inability to obtain finance, “ Glen says. “The truth is that times have changed, and even a long-standing relationship with your bank manager is far less relevant now. Each application gets processed and must tick the boxes on the credit criteria. If it doesn’t, it will not be signed off.” * Source: mortgages.co.nz/mortgages-co-nz-tony-alexandermortgage-advisers-survey-january-2022

Trust & Communication Builds a Business TRUST IS AN essential element to business success. When we feel trusted, we’re more likely to give more of ourselves and to feel a sense of loyalty and connectedness. Trust goes both ways. Employees want to trust that the business owner is doing the right thing by them, and the owner wants to trust that the team are doing the right thing for the business. Key to building trust is clear, consistent, and honest communication, and the sharing of information. No matter what type of business
lisa@eclipserecruitment.co.nz
you run, a culture of honesty and transparency is good practice. It can help to boost workplace morale and ensure that everybody is on the same page. Openness helps you to cultivate a thriving and productive culture that encourages teamwork. Developing open communication, and thereby trust, starts at the top. People ultimately want to be empowered to make smarter decisions. Smarter decisions are made when your teams share knowledge and understand the ‘why’ behind it.
