Attracting, Retaining and Motivating Staff, Webinar – 23 July 2020
Now more than ever, hospitality businesses need to find ways to think outside the box to motivate, attract and retain staff using factors other than money.
Money may seem like the prime factor for motivation, however, there are plenty of other options you can look at that will create a loyal team, that won’t necessarily break the bank.
Jamie Williams, CEO of Kapura in Wellington, will be talking through his tips and tricks on how you can attract, retain and motivate staff without using money as the prime factor. After all, what’s more motivating than being encouraged to become a better version of you?
Wellness Update with the Mental Health Foundation, Webinar – 24 July 2020
2020 has put the industry through a lot so far and isn’t giving much certainty of where it will go next.
Often, we will put off focusing on mental wellbeing while we deal with one practical problem after another, waiting till there is a break in the storm to rest and recover. In reality, to get through this we need to take care of the most important asset our workplaces and we have – ourselves.
Lisa Ducat from the Mental Health Foundation will look at why the hospitality industry needs to look after mental health now and what practical steps we can do for ourselves and others to get through together.

The Future of Hospitality, Webinar – 28 July 2020
Join the association for a series presented by a panel of Regional Tourism Organisations. Each episode will cover how each office is promoting hospitality in their own regional tourism strategy, as well as a background into their very own regional food story. It will focus on looking towards the future and what this may look like for the industry.
This week’s episode is presented by Elle Armon-Jones. Elle came to New Zealand as a 23-year-old and fell in love with New Zealand through the food and Kiwi “Can do” attitude. Elle set up The Big Foody to combine her love of food, people, and New Zealand.
Elle appears regularly on international travel shows promoting New Zealand food and wine and is invited to speak at conferences and events throughout Auckland and New Zealand.
