“If we can go home at night knowing that we’ve prevented a serious injury, a death, and our teams feel well supported, that’s the importance of doing this work. We’re not doing it to tick box something from a regulatory standpoint. We’re doing this for our people.”

— Claudia Wyss, Director of Customer and Community Services | Auckland Council
