However, these reflections aren’t worth much unless we take the time to note them down and consider ways to improve going forward In busy times, it seems impossible to make time for this kind of ‘non- productive’ activity. That’s why, aside from contributing to your LBP maintenance, Under Construction provides an opportunity to step away from your tools, clients and employees, and consider different approaches. This month, we share a number of suggestions – from other builders, apprentices and construction-related businesses.

  • JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2013
    JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2013 Published: November 28, 2013 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2013 published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD) outlines how the financialisation of New Zealand media intensified as News Limited pulled out of Sky TV, and as lenders took 100 percent control of MediaWorks. In 2013, controversy erupted when it was revealed that a journalist’s phone records had been handed to a ministerial inquiry without her consent. The move was condemned by over 300 journalists as the government’s invasion of privacy was seen as a threat to media freedom. The government also passed legislation giving extra surveillance powers to the Government Communication Security Bureau (GCSB). This represented an institutional threat to journalistic autonomy. The report also finds that the bloggers and blogosphere gained prominence and influence in relation to the commercially driven mainstream media. In October 2013, there were 280 ranked blogs in New Zealand, and the top political blogs recorded high visitor numbers. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media ownership Financial institutions take control of Sky TV and MediaWorks MediaWorks goes into receivership, keeps losing content rights Bauer media grows in influence, buys The Listener and other magazines Sky TV stirred, but not shaken by the Commerce Commission and new competitors Leading newspapers stall paywalls, local papers launch them APN and Fairfax newsrooms shrink, profit boosted by asset sales and job cuts This New Zealand Media Ownership Report is the third published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD).

In some ways, it would be easier to live in a straight line – constant, steady work in our industry and a mindset that is always on an even keel would be a simple way forward But this is not the way for our industry, which has been through many booms and busts. Likewise, we all have times when it seems like everything is going our way and other times when we struggle, things pile up and it can all start to feel like too much. Mental health in our society is under the spotlight more and more, so it is pleasing to see valuable work is now taking place in our industry to address it. Site Safe has partnered with Construction Health and Safety NZ (CHASNZ), the Mental Health Foundation and Mates in Construction to produce a handy wallet-sized card to help guide us into having conversations with those who might be struggling. I encourage you to take the time to read it and to look out for your workmates. Look out for yourself, too! Hopefully, the advice from our contributors can ADVERT help with that.

  • Proudly Manufactured by Peter Hay Kitchens
    FOREWORD VIEW FROM THE GM OPERATIONS Embracing change We can all benefit from driving and adapting to industry change Henry Ford once said: “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” Most business coaches would tell you that this quote is inspiration for change; however, with the level of change experienced within our industry of late, there’s little confidence that doing what you’ve always done will even deliver what you’ve always got. Take the Auckland building landscape, for example – designing and constructing 200m2 homes is becoming less and less feasible due to the shortage of land. As such, it looks like a case of diminishing returns for any builder specialising in that one area. We often encourage our builders to adapt to industry and business change, and it’s just as important we do so ourselves. This issue of Under Construction highlights several of our recent initiatives, including LBP sessions conducted in Mandarin, a new fastenings delivery service, an increased level of sponsorship for apprentices and landscapers, and We often encourage a new fundraising activity. our builders to adapt to industry and business Making adjustments based on new developments and experience is being driven across all areas of the industry. In this month’s edition, we change, and it’s just asked LBP Registrar Paul Hobbs some hard questions about the integrity as important we do of the LBP scheme, and whether it might need updating in response to so ourselves recent licence cancellations. While there’s no immediate changes on the horizon, the responses certainly show that the current process is BONUS* always open to evolution.
