Beehive to Business Event: Unlocking the Potential of New Zealand’s Workforce with Hon. Minister Upston
About this Event

As New Zealand’s workforce evolves—shaped by technology, automation, and changing skills needs—it’s more important than ever to fully utilise the talent available to us.


Join us for a special Beehive to Business event with Hon. Louise Upston, Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, Minister for Disability Issues, Minister for Social Development and Employment, Minister for Tourism and Hospitality, Minister for Child Poverty Reduction, and Deputy Leader of the House, who will discuss how businesses can better support disabled and neurodiverse New Zealanders, and why this is critical to unlocking the full potential of the workforce.


This event is a unique opportunity for business leaders and policymakers to explore how inclusive employment can strengthen organisations and build a more capable, diverse workforce—and it’s not one to be missed.


Agenda:

  • 7:15am- Standing breakfast, networking
  • 7:45am- Address
  • 8:10am- Q&A
  • 8:30am- Event concludes


Part of the ongoing Beehive to Business series, this event is proudly made possible through our partnership with Wellington-based consulting firm Allen + Clarke.
