A reminder, the EMA (Employers and Manufacturers Association), and Poutama are delivering the 12-month ‘Poutama Tangata’ group coaching programme for small & medium sized Māori businesses (SMEs) across Aotearoa.

COVID-19 has identified a growing need for Māori SMEs to have good access to quality ‘people’ expertise and advice.  This HR coaching programme is suited for business owners, managers, and staff responsible for looking after workplace contracts, policies and procedures, remuneration, training and development, performance measures and wellbeing.

The programme is FREE and available to Māori SMEs seeking guidance with their ‘people’ needs and requirements:

  • Focusing on tools and techniques to help lead your people
  • Creating the right culture to attract and retain your people

The FREE one-hour online group coaching sessions with EMA’s HR Specialist Nikki Iuli held the third Wednesday of each month.  Beyond these sessions, 1 on 1 support is available at a special rate.

The next coaching session is scheduled for 12-1pm, tomorrow Wednesday 15 December 2021.  To find out more email
