Training & Events

Success in business relies on providing quality work and great customer service. It means keeping up with technology, compliance, and providing the right advice and product to your customers. To do that, you need skilled staff who are full of knowledge, relate to your customers and understand business priorities.  That means they need quality training.

A skilled, trained workforce can dramatically improve bottom line performance, adding value to products and services and making it easier to compete in the market. Satisfied and motivated staff, mean higher levels of staff retention, lowering the costs of recruitment.

The Health & Safety in Employment Act 1992 states that one aspect of ensuring that employees can carry out work safely is making sure that employees have adequate knowledge, experience and training.

In additional to various courses run throughout the year, HIANZ runs an annual training camp called 'Frontliners', an event that caters for new or existing staff within the hire industry.  The format of the event provides attendee's with multiple course categories over a number days.  Frontliners was developed to overcome the difficulties associated with training staff in-house, such as time, costs and acquiring the resources.

Scheduled courses can be found within the list of industry events below.
