Hire like a Hero: Employing Migrant Workers

Hiring migrant workers is a lifeline for many New Zealand businesses. But as immigration rules evolve, so do the risks. From employer accreditation to seasonal visa conditions and job checks, even well-intentioned employers are finding themselves in breach without realising it – and the consequences can be serious.

Balancing workforce needs with compliance shouldn’t feel like walking a tightrope. That’s why we’re hosting a webinar with our local Employment Counsel, Sanam Ahmadzadeh Salmani, together with Helen Strange, Senior Licensed Immigration Adviser at Aims Global, to cut through the legal complexity and deliver clear, practical guidance. You’ll leave with a stronger understanding of your obligations, the pitfalls to watch for, and the confidence to support your migrant workers while protecting your business.

In this essential session, we’ll give clarity on: 

• Employer Accreditation Uncovered – What it really means, the mistakes to avoid, and how to stay on track.
• Recognised Seasonal Employer Visas Explained – Know your obligations and how to hire compliantly. 
• Job Checks Without the Headaches – Prove you’ve done your part and avoid the red flags.
• Visa Responsibilities Made Simple – Know your obligations, manage role changes, and stay compliant without stress.
• Audit-Proof Your Business – What Immigration NZ looks for and how to keep your records in order.
• Future-Proof Your Compliance – Key changes ahead and practical steps to make sure your processes are always up-to-date.

This is a must-attend webinar for kiwi business owners and HR professionals who hire or plan to hire migrant workers. Join us live and take the opportunity to have your questions answered by our expert speakers, so you can step into the season with confidence.
