Our COVID-19 Resource + Assistance Centre
As the impacts of COVID-19 become increasingly felt across New Zealand, this page is a continual source of updates and information to help you prepare and respond to the evolving global health crisis and its potential impact on you, your team and your business.
At this stage the full and long-term impacts are unknown, so it is important that we are preparing ourselves for business continuity and keep up to date with what is happening at a global and local level.
We are strongly encouraging our clients to think about their own business continuity preparedness and urge them to seek support from their MBP Business Partner and extended team.
