Roundtable with MSD Regional Commissioner, Blair McKenzie

Join Regional Commissioner of the Ministry for Social Development Blair McKenzie who is interested in meeting with a group of business leaders to discuss regional employment trends, workforce planning and strategic insights into the labour market. Blair will also talk you through the new ChamberWorks programme which aims to link businesses up with fully vetted and work ready job seekers.

The discussion will cover:

• Key pressures for employers, workforce trends, and what MSD is seeing from jobseekers.

• Hard-to-fill roles, barriers to hiring, and what “work-ready” looks like in practice.

• Where the disconnects are - gaps between vacancies and candidates, and system barriers.

• Opportunities to strengthen partnerships quick wins, and shared regional priorities for the next 6–12 months.
