Are you bringing new team members into Hawke’s Bay? Whether your business is in Hastings, Napier, or anywhere across the region, supporting newcomers to settle quickly and feel at home helps with integration both at work and in the community.
To help with this our Council's in collaboration with the Welcoming Communities initiative have released an updated Te Rau Arataki Newcomers Guide. This comprehensive resource has practical information on everything from housing and healthcare to employment, education, and community services.
You can provide this guide to your new employees and also use it to help review and update your onboarding processes. It’s a simple way to ensure your team feels supported from day one.
You can download the Newcomers Guide directly from the council websites or pick up a printed copy at your local library, council office, or Citizens Advice Bureau:
