Extension for exceptional employer awards
Associate Minister for Agriculture, Meka Whaitiri has extended the nomination period for the Primary Industries Good Employer Awards, in order to recognise more outstanding employers from the sector which employees around one in seven New Zealanders.
“From Māori Agribusiness to Employee Development, the Primary Industries Good Employer Awards celebrate employer innovation and encourages more Kiwis to experience a career in an industry that values their contribution,” says Meka Whaitiri.
“By
extending nominations until August 24, we ensure all primary
industries employers demonstrating exceptional employment
practices, have a fair chance to be justly recognised as an
award winner.
“Alongside award categories such as
innovative employment practices, and safe and healthy work
environments, I am welcoming nominations for employers who
are committed to improving employment practices in their
region for the Minister’s Award.
“As the primary industries employ as many as one in three people in some regions, I am committed to highlighting the kaupapa of improving regional workplaces within this sector.
“Don’t miss this chance to nominate a good employer in the primary industries, one whose work environment sees employees feel supported, safe, develop and grow,” Meka Whaitiri said.
