Andrew Slater: Health New Zealand Chief People Officer on recruitment freeze for non-frontline workers

Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora has implemented a freeze on hiring for all non-frontline roles – to bring down spending.   This will include all hospital roles that are not patient-facing, and all public health roles that are not community-facing.  Health New Zealand Chief People Officer, Andrew Slater, told Heather du Plessis-Allan “That pause is likely to be on as we enter July-August as well.”  Slater said “This pause will move the recruitment process back down to local hands.”  LISTEN ABOVE.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
