New Zealand's immigration landscape continues to evolve, with a steady stream of policy changes, operational updates and compliance developments affecting both employers and migrant workers.
In particular, in August 2026 major changes to employment-based residence policies have been introduced. Keeping up with these changes can be challenging, but understanding them is critical for effective workforce planning, recruitment, and retention.
In this practical webinar for HR professionals, people leaders and employers, immigration specialist Rachael Mason will provide an overview of the latest immigration developments, discuss emerging trends, and share insights into what may lie ahead for New Zealand's immigration system.
The session will cover:
Recent immigration policy changes and what they mean for employers
Updates affecting work visas, residence pathways and migrant workers
Practical tips for managing immigration issues within your workforce
Designed specifically for HR practitioners, this session will focus on practical guidance and real-world implications rather than legal jargon.
What participants will gain from the webinar
Participants will leave with an up-to-date understanding of the current immigration environment and practical strategies to help navigate immigration-related workforce challenges with confidence.
There will also be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
