Kia ora , 

 

As we wrap up 2024, it’s a great time to reflect on the tough year it has been for most Hutt Valley businesses. Hutt Valley businesses have been incredibly resilient. Wherever I have been people have mostly said ‘We are doing Ok’. There are unfortunately businesses that have had to close. We had the recent example of Atco Steel Engineering. Dave Olsen, the General Manager there, has been incredibly supportive of the Education to Employment work we do, providing work experience and apprenticeships to some students from our schools. Whilst the situation was not great, I was very proud of how the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce and two of our board members, Sarah Wilson (Sarah Wilson Recruitment) and June Ranson (Woburn International), came together to provide some support for some of their staff.

Two things have stood out for me when I have been talking to businesses. They two key parts of any business are vital to success.

I am personally very proud of my small team, who have worked very hard this year to support our members and the wider business community. Our work is centred on relationships, networks and connections. Some of my highlights of the work we have done have been:

  • Having the Prime Minister visit Metco Engineering to commission their new tube laser machine
  • Having the Minister of Finance in the Hutt Valley to deliver her Pre-Budget speech for the first time outside Wellington in 14 years
  • Organising 98 events to help our business community connect, network, and build relationships
  • Sending nearly 100 email campaigns to keep our business community informed. This includes our new ‘Offer’ emails to help promote businesses. (we will do more of these next year)
  • And finally the 2degrees Wellington Regional Business Excellence Awards 2024. This celebration of our business community was just amazing. We had more entries than ever before and so many great businesses to celebrate.

For me, my happy place is being out and about in the Hutt Valley meeting businesses. I am constantly blown away by the people, the work, the manufacturing, and the willingness to connect and collaborate. We have received great support from our partners and members for which we are very grateful. We will continue to work hard for you in 2025.

Maybe the year is best summed up by Sean Westbrook, Managing Director of Arotec Diagnostics who recently gave us some feedback about the awards.

“In my view, the true champions of the Hutt Valley business community are the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Sponsors who tirelessly support, inspire, and celebrate our region's businesses year after year. Your unwavering commitment motivates us all to grow, innovate, and perform at our best, contributing to increased employment opportunities and export growth for New Zealand, and ultimately creating shared value for our communities. Thank you again for your leadership and support in promoting such an extraordinary culture of excellence in our community”.

Thanks Sean. And thanks to all of you that have supported the Hutt valley Chamber of Commerce in 2024. Here's to more collaboration, growth, and hard work in 2025!

      Changes to Grievance Procedures

      On 4 December, Workplace Relations & Safety Minister, Brooke van Velden announced proposed changes to the procedures for personal grievances.

      The changes are aimed at making it easier for employers to dismiss employees for serious misconduct without fear of being hit with a huge hurt and humiliation payout. 

       

      The key points from the Minister's announcement were:

      • The removal of eligibility for remedies if the employee's behaviour was serious misconduct
      • The removal of eligibility for reinstatement and compensation for hurt and humiliation where the employee contributed to the personal grievance through the likes of repeated lateness, misuse of company resources, repeated under performance.
      • If the employment relationship is broken in the eyes of one or both parties, reinstatement is not an option
      • The Courts to consider whether the behaviour of the employee obstructed the employer from meeting their obligations to run a fair process.
      • Procedural defects to not be a key aspect of consideration provided the employee has been treated fairly, despite any procedural defect.

      The removal of compensation for hurt and humiliation is intended to stop employees "trying their luck" by simply raising a grievance of their dismissal.

      Are you stuck in the 90’s?

      Ah, the 90's. A time when dial-up internet was the height of technology, video stores were the go-to for weekend entertainment, and everyone had a Nokia brick phone that could survive just about anything. We danced the Macarena at every party and took care of our Tamagotchis like they were real pets. The good old days, eh!

      Just like these nostalgic memories, sales advice from the 90's has also become outdated. Take the classic sales mantra, "Always Be Closing." This piece of advice was all the rage in the 90's, but we're not in the 90's anymore. It's time to move with the times and adopt a more modern approach to sales.

      Always Be Qualifying: The New Sales Mantra

      In today's ever-changing business world, "Always Be Qualifying" is much better advice. Instead of focusing solely on closing deals, it's crucial to continuously qualify leads throughout the sales process. This means understanding your prospects' needs, pain points, and decision-making processes to ensure that you're providing the right solutions at the right time.

      By always qualifying, you can build stronger relationships with your customers, tailor your approach to their specific needs, and ultimately close more deals in a way that feels natural and mutually beneficial. It's about being a trusted advisor rather than just a salesperson.

      So, let's leave "Always Be Closing" in the 90's where it belongs and embrace "Always Be Qualifying" as the new standard for sales success. Just like we moved on from dial-up internet and video stores, it's time to move on from outdated sales advice and adopt strategies that work in today's world.

      If you want to chat more about how to improve your sales qualification or sales team results, talk to us, Hear Say Do.
