International Week of Happiness at Work - Monday 20 to Friday 24 September
International Week of Happiness at Work is a holiday that’s all about bringing happiness back into the workplace. If work is part of our daily lives, then one of the best ways to live a happier life is through being happy at work.
Happiness in the workplace encourages a culture of positivity and inclusion, and this promotes job satisfaction for all employees. Supporting disability inclusion in the workplace supports all employees, and companies with strong disability inclusion programs have better access to talent and better employee retention.
Disability inclusion strengthens the workforce, supports diverse workplaces and builds morale and helps all employees do their best work.
Workbridge can support jobseekers and employers by providing a range of free employment support services for both job seekers and employers, individually tailored to suit every individual’s needs.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
