"We found the number one cause of workplace stress is understaffing, which often leads to poor work-life balance and places pressure on employees to work longer hours," EMA chief executive Brett O'Riley said. rnz.co.nz/news/business/…

@DentonsNZ has increased all staff pay by 7.5% from 1 August to help address record high inflation pressures. Thanks for helping your team! We love to see it!

Inflation is not felt equally. Lower-income families who spend the majority of their income covering the essentials like food and rent, are the most impacted. We need action that works for everyone. 🟢 Liveable incomes 🏡 Rent controls 🚎 Free public transport 🟢 Wealth tax
