Inspired by my beautiful Mother - our days are numbered but I wish you had more ###

Give me time

Give me time to be a child
to play
to have childish thoughts

Give me time to be a daughter
before I am a daughter no longer

Give me time to be alone
to grow
to learn
that it’s better to be together

Give me time to be a mother
to be needed
Their growth will be both joy and sorrow

Give me time to be a lover
to be loved
and to love myself

Give me time to grow old
wiser
more accepting

Give me time to forgive
To be forgiven
To let go…

Give me time
Give me time
Give me time

We've been talking to the North Harbour Business Association about the need for their members to have a robust ICT policy. The interplay between privacy and employment law raises some challenging issues for employers but with the right advise and support, the rights of all can be protected. Remember that transparency is everything in employment relations...

Fourth Monkey is in the news. Dairy News (page 17) reported this week on the Employment Law Breaches identified by MBIE. We hope that this latest chain of events results in some support to become compliant from Federated Farmers. We would certainly like to get on board to support the Dairy Farmers of NZ!

Thanks everyone for liking this page and for asking (as a few have) about the monkey.

The Monkey references Shizaru - the rarely spoken of Fourth Wise Monkey. Shizaru reflects the values around how we do business and the choices we will make.

It's about having courage (fearing no evil) and choosing to work with organisations that contribute positively to New Zealand (do no evil).

You can read more about Shizaru on our website - check out the Services Fourth Monkey is offering while you are there. And by the way, a huge "thank you" and recommendation to Daryl Blake, who built the site for me.

Has the world gone crazy?
We are mortified that these teacher aides would keep their jobs in circumstance s such as these.
Make sure you have the right policies, well communicated to your people, that make it really clear where "the line" sits for your business or organisation.

An Auckland primary school has suspended two teacher aides after they were snapped exchanging cannabis in the staff room. - New Zealand Herald

There's been a lot of furore about Employers taking advantage of the recent changes in employment legislation with respect to Meal Breaks.
I think most Employers understand they have an obligation to provide adequate breaks; the changes are all about flexibilty, not the deterioration of working conditions.
Check out MBIE's page on how to apply the changes to Employment Law...

The changes to the rest and meal break provisions balance the importance of these breaks for employees with the practical needs for each workplace. The current strict rules are replaced with a more general right for employees to have a reasonable opportunity to rest, eat, drink and deal with persona…
