A productive workplace is one where people are safe, healthy, and treated fairly. Creating this sort of environment helps organisations recruit and retain skilled staff, minimise employment relationship problems, and avoid tragic and costly accidents.

The Department of Labour has launched a new web resource called Infozone: Business Essentials. This is an online resource that provides simple straight forward employment relations and health & safety information for business owners.  The resource tells you what you need to know, what steps to put in place and then provides templates, documents and spreadsheets to apply to your business.
