Business South is pleased to bring members the Regional Business Briefing Winter 2026, hosted and run by Business Central as part of our Wednesday Matters webinar series. It pulls together the economic outlook, employment relations updates, and policy context in a way that is directly relevant to running a business.
 
What is covered:

• Regional economic update: a real-world read on the economic environment and what it means on the ground. 
• Employment relations insights: practical updates drawn from real casework, covering the patterns, risks, and opportunities emerging across workplaces. 
• Policy and advocacy update: the key issues being worked on and how they connect to your business. 
• Business Central NZ update: what they are seeing, what they are hearing, and how member interests are being represented.

Who should attend:
Business owners, senior leaders, and managers who want to stay informed, make better decisions, and stay connected to what is happening across the wider business environment. If you are leading people, making decisions, or working through change, this is a chance to step back and sense-check what you are seeing.
