UPDATES FROM THE MASTERLINK MENTORED APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME—INCLUDING AN INTRODUCTION TO NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER PETE SHIELDS.
Surviving lockdown When New Zealand plunged back into lockdown in August, Masterlink kept up the communication with hosts and apprentices, making sure they were informed and providing apprentices with quizzes and study aids to keep the brain cells ticking while work was on hold. Our Regional Managers checked in with their apprentices by phone and text to ensure they were coping OK—and looked after their own mental and physical fitness whilst working from home. RM Colin Kilpatrick spent some quality time with granddaughter Izzy; Russell Walsh was reminded to take regular breaks by his pup Bella; Bob McCoy enjoyed walks on the beachfront right outside his Hawke’s Bay home; Brendan Parker had a laugh with his young family; Sam Timlin got the nursery ready for baby #1 (welcome Andreas!); and Rupert Sanford-Scutt headed out for a run each day to get in training for his first Auckland marathon.
Working from home during lockdown gave the Masterlink Regional Managers a chance to spend some quality time with family and get out for some healthy exercise.
