EMA Pink Shirt Day Webinar: Practical Steps for Employers to Build Respectful, Engaged Workplaces

Join EMA Culture Organisation and People Development Consultant, Kirsty Thomas on 12 May for a practical webinar for employers as part of this year's Pink Shirt Day campaign.

In this session, Kirsty will unpack psychological safety, why it matters more than you think, and what you can do to build a safe work environment for all employees. You'll get a research-informed perspective on areas including:

• The real impact of high vs. low psychological safety in NZ workplaces
• How to destroy it and how to foster it — practical steps leaders and employers can take to create environments where people feel safe to speak up
• How to measure and track it — with tools and a practical toolkit to help you embed psychological safety in your organisation

The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand has run the Pink Shirt Day campaign since 2012, supporting a kinder, more inclusive Aotearoa. With bullying costing NZ employers $1.34 billion each year, now is the time to lead the way in your business, and build teams that are more resilient, productive, and engaged. Kirsty Thomas is an experienced HR consultant across sectors, with a deep understanding of coaching, psychometric tools, and human-centred design. This session will include live Q&A time with Kirsty, so register now - and bring your questions.
