- Will employees be allowed to smoke cannabis before they come to work?
- Will I be able to do pre-employment drug testing?
- Will I be able to do random drug testing?
- Will I be able to test an employee after an accident/incident?
- How will urine testing be affected?
- If I can’t do urine testing, what can I use to test for drugs?



Do you need the answers to any of these questions?


Leading up to the referendum, I am offering to talk through these questions and what best practice could look like for you and your workplace regardless of the referendum outcome.

Gather some colleagues within your industry and together we can discuss what matters to you.

Hi! I'm so excited to finally be sharing a project our team has been working on for a while now: First Rung, our first podcast!
First Rung is packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home - it also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
Over six, bite sized episodes, we cover everything from saving that deposit, to sunset clauses, to how to get your newly purchased home ready to move into.
We'll also introduce you to ordinary Kiwis, just like you, who have navigated the choppy waters of home buying in NZ and made it onto that first rung - and pick their brains for how they did it.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
So give it a listen and let us know what you think - and be in to win that mint Resene prize pack. I can't enter and I'm well jealous!
