Directors’ Personal Liabilities Workshop: Key Insights for Today’s Governance Environment
Our recent Directors’ Personal Liabilities – Employment, Immigration, and Health & Safety Law workshop brought together Findex, the Southland Business Chamber, IoD, HRNZ and ENGAGE for a focused 90-minute session designed to help directors and senior leaders navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
The workshop explored how employment, immigration, and health & safety obligations intersect — and how evolving case law is placing greater expectations and potential personal liability on directors. Clear, real-world case studies helped demystify the issues and provided practical steps leaders can take to strengthen compliance and governance.
Key takeaways included:
• Understanding where directors face personal liability
• Key considerations when advising on employment and workplace obligations
• Immigration NZ expectations for directors and key personnel
• Health & safety due diligence requirements and regulatory trends
• Why proactive governance is essential in 2025 and beyond
Thank you to our expert presenters — Janet Copeland, Melissa Vining, and Joe Lill — for delivering complex information in an accessible and highly practical way.
This session is one of many supporting Southland leaders to stay informed, equipped, and confident in their roles.
