'Taranaki Workbridge at The Business Showcase'
Successful night for Taranaki Workbridge at The Business Showcase! Our Employer Focussed, Employment Consultants, Paula and Nichola, attended The Business Expo at The Plymouth Hotel mid August and had a great night. They connected with other businesses at the expo and had a business card draw which was won by one of the girls from Ministry of Social Development. The well organised event created a friendly atmosphere and there was a great vibe with the flow of people throughout the evening. It was a great opportunity to connect with other local businesses in a relaxed setting with the same goal - to promote our businesses and to build awareness throughout the community. There was a real 'buzz' in the air and having a live MC on the night gave everyone an opportunity to engage and have some fun.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
