Is there an obligation to the child, or is a Yeshivah like any other private corporation that can do what it wants? Can a wife be fired because of her husband's actions?

The Early Childhood Council is warning that some childcare centres will close permanently thanks to the vaccine mandate. A recent ECC survey shows the no jab, no job policy will lead to nearly half its members losing one teacher, and more than a third will lose up to two teachers. Chief executive Simon Laube says teacher-child ratios are becoming increasingly difficult to manage for centres. That means some children will be sent home. He spoke to Corin Dann.

David Dezso is the founder and CEO of Banyan Risk Group. Prior to starting Banyan, he served 10 years as an Army Green Beret. David is here today to talk about his career in the military as well as what he's done after leaving the military to help veterans.

It's not just “varsity blues.” Universities are facing different kinds of crises than they ever imagined before, from COVID and Title IX to sports scandals and cyber breaches. As these institutions find themselves in legal and political crosshairs, their legal counsel are called on to mitigate and even preempt potential disaster. How do they plan and execute these strategies, and what makes universities unique compared to other institutions? Our latest episode of The Sidley Podcast grapples with those questions and many others. Join host and Sidley partner, Sam Gandhi, as he speaks with two of the firm's thought leaders on the subject — Wendy Lazerson and Karen Popp. Wendy is co-chair of Sidley's Labor, Employment, and Immigration practice and is a partner in the firm's San Francisco and Palo Alto offices. She also serves on the firm's COVID-19 Task Force. Karen is the global co-leader of the firm's White Collar: Government Litigation and Investigations practice and is a partner in the firm's Washington, D.C. office. Executive Producer: John Metaxas, WallStreetNorth Communications, Inc.

Schools across the country have jumped several hurdles to keep staff on-board, as the mandate for workers to get their first Covid-19 vaccine comes into effect. The principal of a school where all teachers have had the vaccine is urging other education leaders to be patient with staff who are refusing it. Ash Maindonald of Western Heights School in Auckland urges others to get alongside staff who aren't on board. He told Morning Report the the school has a culture predicated on staff treating every student like they were their child. "On that basis staff based a good portion of their decision on what is best for our tamariki and our staff whānau."

From today no one can work in healthcare or schools if they have not had one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine or are exempt from the government's mandates. Just hours before the - "no jab - no job" deadline, around 2000 district health board workers have still to be vaccinated. No one knows exactly how many people are affected and the impact it will have on care. Health Correspondent Rowan Quinn reports.

Primary principals have been dealing with a number of sick leave applications from unvaccinated teachers wanting leave from today until the end of the year. The vaccine mandate is now in force and staff without their first jab are no longer allowed on school grounds. Principals Federation president Perry Rush told Morning Report a lot of teachers were missing out on money for their stance on vaccination. "They will have been stood away from that work and some will be on leave with pay, most will be on leave without pay."

Teachers who haven't had their first Covid-19 vaccination are now suspended from school. While most secondary schools can make-do for now with students on study leave, educators say the real test will come in the new year. Secondary Principals Association of New Zealand president Vaughan Couillault spoke to Corin Dann.

It's the last quarter of the year, and for some, that means holiday gatherings and New Year's resolutions. However, many managers and supervisors are instead saying "'tis the season for year-end performance reviews." While these annual reviews have their shortcomings companies across the globe, large and small continue to use them. Labor and Employment Members Camille Bryant and Mag Bickford discuss how bias negatively impacts performance reviews, and steps employers can take to mitigate risks.

Health workers who haven't had their first Covid-19 vaccination will be barred from the job from tomorrow. While some nurses are firm in their stance to not get vaccinated, it's hoped others might change their mind after some time off. New Zealand Nurses Organisation kaiwhakahaere Kerri Nuku spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Discover 3 best practices and blind spots from the 3 previous CEO Blindspots podcast guests: Ivan Madrigal, Jan Kamps, Sue Burnett (5 minutes). CEO BLINDSPOTS PODCAST HOST: Birgit Kamps. Birgit Kamps was speaking 5 languages by the age of 10, and lived in 5 countries with her Dutch parents, prior to becoming an American citizen. This laid the foundation for her ability to quickly understand a company's culture, read people, and identify leadership blind spots. Upon graduating from the University of Houston Bauer School of Business, Birgit worked and was promoted several times in both public and private companies for her ability to quickly engage people in working together to attain desired results. A decade later, she decided to start her own company. Applying her own formula to successfully hire and develop a very high performing team, she grew her firm, HireSynergy, to an Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Company and a Best Company to Work for in Texas. During that time, Birgit was appointed as a Board Member of the Gulf Coast Workforce Commission where she served for three terms, including as the Chair of the Education Committee. After successfully building HireSynergy, Birgit sold the company to a national Employment firm and then spent the next year raising her young daughter and planning her next venture. Hire Universe was the result – a leadership consulting practice that brings a unique brand of advice to venture capital and private equity firms and supports high-performing enterprises in achieving their mission. She is currently serving as a Board Member for a select number of companies, including Think-X, CCC, and Hyper Verge. Birgit is often referred to by her clients as the “Human X-Ray Machine” for her ability to quickly identify hiring blind spots, prevent costly hiring mistakes, and provide effective guidance for performance and conflict resolution issues. By supporting clients in discovering leadership blind spots, Birgit accelerates their company's success, and they find that they can also enjoy a higher quality of life. She applies the same principles as a Board member, focusing on empowering the Board and the company's executives to collaborate in a way that provides meaningful and effective performance feedback, while optimizing their partnership and desired outcomes. Birgit is also the creator of the “CEO Blindspots” podcast, where 100+ leaders have shared their best practices and blind spots with other executives via 15-minute podcast episodes. Spotify acknowledged CEO Blindspots in 2020 for having the “biggest listener growth in the USA” (733%), and for having “listeners in 11 countries.” www.ceoblindspots.com Ask me your leadership questions via ceoblindspots@gmail.com

Brandee Stephens, a mortgage broker with Answer Home Loans, has become a top producer by helping the borrowers who are turned away the most. A majority of her clients are not credit-ready when they come to her so she works with them to improve their credit and get them ready to be homeowners. As a Mortgage Broker in the Wholesale Channel, Brandee believes it to be her obligation to educate borrowers and help those that retail operations and banks would turn away. Once she has those borrowers, she goes above and beyond for them. When a borrower didn't have or know how to obtain a Verification of Employment, Brandee went as far as driving directly to their multiple past employers and getting their VOE herself.  Brandee does not come from a long line of homeowners. Her mother did not become a homeowner until she was almost 40. If it was not for her younger brother, who bought a home at 19, she may never have become a homeowner herself. During the process of buying her first home in the 90s, her interest rate jumped 1% before signing without warning. While buying her second home, her broker locked her into an adjustable-rate mortgage without explaining the difference to her. That is when she knew she could offer a better service. She joined the mortgage industry working at retail banks for 12 years until she made the jump to the broker side in June 2019.  As a Broker, Brandee focuses on helping educate borrowers on the homebuying process. Instead of turning away credit-bruised clients, Brandee works to create a financial plan to help get their credit ready within six to nine months. As part of this effort, Brandee has made it a focus to help Hispanic and Latino borrowers. She recently hired a fully-licensed originator who speaks Spanish to assist her with the effort as well.   Once Brandee has started helping those borrowers repair their credit, she goes above and beyond to provide them the best possible service, and that starts with a customer service mindset. Part of that service is Brandee and her team helping borrowers get their credit in a place where they can purchase a home. They personalize a plan for each borrower and follow up every month to see how the process is going, but it doesn't just stop there. Brandee once helped a borrower who had been unemployed for 10 years because of a serious brain injury. She broke down the borrower's career history, year by year, job by job, even going so far as to reach out to the past employers herself. Nothing was going to stop Brandee from doing right by her borrower. “It's not a job, we're really changing people's lives,” she says.   Brandee's parting advice: Find what gets you up every morning. You can either have a job that forces you to get up every morning or a job that gives you a reason to get up every morning. “Nobody has to tell me to get up and tell me how I'm going to help the next person,” she said. Once you find that motivation, hire people who share it. You can teach people many things, but you cannot teach someone to be passionate about your “Why”. They either are or they aren't.
