Great news, great work by our Rainbow Team and a fine and fitting acknowledgement of why we love working at Ember so much .

It's so awesome to see customers like Gil Sewell and Simon Kozak (BLitt.Hons) from Ember Korowai Takitini who love and believe in our product just as much as we do. These two are really championing HealthNow in their organisation just as much as we are championing it within the wider community. As an HR/marketing duo, Gil and Simon have worked out how to use wellbeing support to promote retention in their organisation and attract new talent to take roles with Ember. It's great to see how HealthNow can support this amazing group of kai mahi (staff) who are then supporting a significant number of people in the community in Auckland and across New Zealand. Check out this great pic from the HR + L&D Innovation & Tech Fest featuring Sam McCann and Dave Insull. Great to see that HealthNow card out in the wild!

Resilient communities and innovation in our thinking is what we're about. Somethings cooking here with our Employment team , read below for a sneak peek and stay tuned for the detail. #livedexperience #mentalhealth #supportedemployment Darryl B.
