A recent heads of industry day was held by the peak body SPASA to create a set of solutions and planning for the industry's future security covering employment, education, economy and the environment. Listen into a series of short interviews with some of those who participated in these important talks.  
We also talk to the poolie who started posting to social media and gained significant traction.  Turns out that what we consider everyday ordinary the public finds enthralling.

You really don't want to miss an interview with the CEO of SPASA, Lindsay McGrath. We get down to business discussing the upcoming 'Heads of Industry' meeting.   This critical industry day is to prepare for the combined challenges and emerging multiple crisis of the post-covid cash crash; the looming expectations and regulatory uncertainty around Environmental Social Governance  (ESG) policy implications for industry; and the need to attract, retain and recognise a professional industry workforce. 

We also take a look at the New Zealand Awards of Excellence and hear from an awards winning innovator in the technology space around integration of data.

Ready. Set. SPLASH!

If you missed SPLASH! 2022 Trade Expo on the Gold Coast the FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) can now only be described as ROHMO (regret-of-having-missed-out).  It truly was a world leading, first class and landmark event for pool and spa professional trade in this region.
We take a moment to reflect and look at how far we have come.
   
Veda Dante (regular SPLASH! feature editor) interviews Brenda Gerrard-Forster from 'HR Anywhere' about some critical considerations in the ever-changing complexity of managing employees from conditions to pay.
Veda also interviews Matteo Callegaro who shares some of the interesting history and pedigree around giant Italian pump manufacturer DAB.

As always... Ready. Set. SPLASH!

Coffee maybe the metaphor but your people are the focus.  With over one-third employees actively looking for a new job and the replacement cost reported as high as 250% of that wage it seems retention of good people is a critical issue.    We unpack why the opportunities afforded by the upcoming SPLASH! Trade Show providing  education, engagement and entertainment may be the keys to help you retain your staff.
We also have a terrific discussion with SPLASH! Trade Show Platinum Sponsor - Fluidra about their investment in industry and more.

Winter is no longer coming. It is here.  The election is no longer looming . It is done and won. The old methods and standards of doing business for industry are changed through time and necessity.  The market is changing and consumers are constantly changing.  The consumer has put us in high demand over the last two years but what happens when the seemingly unending quarterly growth is over? 
The experience of women in the workplace and specifically our industry has been a undergoing change for the better.   We speak with Daena Bougoure-Latchford from SPASA who is leading the way for woman of industry with the WAVES initiative about these changes and how you can be involved.
The times, they are indeed a changing.   Ready. Set. SPLASH!
