The horticulture industry says there could be serious consequences if the Oriental fruit fly becomes established. Last week a single male fruit fly was found in a surveillance trap in Papatoetoe and movement of fruit and vegetables in and out of the suburb is now restricted. Sally Murphy reports.
Sally Murphy is an expert human resources professional who left the corporate world behind to launch the purpose-led human resources company Purple Playground in 2018. After spending twenty years working within people and culture roles across a variety of HR disciplines, Sally took the opportunity to build a company that would better support other businesses in their human resources initiatives. Her vision for Purple Playground is in perfect alignment with her purpose and passion - to prove business leaders with a proactive approach to people and culture. As far as HR agencies are concerned, Purple Playground is deliberately different. Sally heads up the Human Resources division of the company, and works her magic to: Ensure businesses are compliant with their Fair Work employer obligations. Help businesses scale their organisations through simple, yet strong human resource foundations and a clear people strategy. Build the leadership capability within teams, with a focus on creating resilient, high-performing teams. The Purple Playground team are the antidote to the boring, stuffy, ‘we'd better call HR' approach and are leading the way in helping purpose-driven business owners re-imagine what people and culture support looks like. They are a certified B Corporation and long term member of B1G1 Business for Good. It's all part of showing the human side of human resources. To Sally and the team, adding value to clients means being committed to helping them ‘systemise the process and humanise the experience' throughout every aspect of the full employee lifecycle.

In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, we're talking about a topic that every single practice owner needs to know, understand, and appreciate. That topic is HR compliance. We know that when HR goes well, our team is fantastic, everyone feels supported, and things run smoothly. But when things don't go well, you can find yourself in the midst of time consuming, emotionally draining, and costly issues. Sally Murphy from Purple Playground joins Dr. Jesse Green to help us understand what practice owners need to know about HR compliance to avoid issues before they arise. Sally Murphy is an expert in all things HR. She's worked her whole professional life in this sphere for both large companies, and now with small to medium enterprises including many dental practices. Sally is here to let us know what we need to have in terms of policies and procedures, and how to stay on the right side of the compliance line. [4:54] - In a small dental practice business, people are our brand and we know it's important to surround ourselves with a great team. So as dentists, what do we need to do to bring the best out of people and what structures and policies do we need to have in place? [10:28] - So if the Fair Work Ombudsman comes knocking, what do you do? [15:43] - What sort of policies must we have in place that allow our businesses to be ‘fit for purpose' and are ‘bespoke for our dental industry'. [26:13] - Creating an environment for our team to succeed can definitely support the policies our business has in place. Build culture by having one-on-one conversations with your team regularly. [28:53] - Record keeping is key. What documents and policies are crucial, where do we keep them, what is the best way to manage these processes?

RNZ's rural news reporter, Sally Murphy, takes a look at the week's agricultural news dominated by the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle.
Coordinated efforts to get support to farmers and growers affected by Cyclone Gabrielle have begun - with truck loads of stock feed bound for the affected regions. Crops were destroyed, orchards were washed away or left underwater and farms have been left with large slips or rock beds through them after rivers burst their banks. In some areas, remote farming communities remain cut-off. Sally Murphy has been in Hawkes Bay.
We've heard some incredible stories from Waiohiki this week, of cars and indeed entire houses sweeping right through in the flooding. One resident of Waiohiki says the only reason they're alive is because a dog warned them of the impending flood. The town, made up of several dozen houses and a marae, has been completely smashed; almost every home was flooded when the river tore holes through the stop banks. Like everywhere else, the focus is now shifting to the clean-up - and the community coming together to help clear silt and get rid of water logged belongings. Our reporter Sally Murphy was there.
In the small settlement of Omahu in Hawkes Bay residents spent yesterday clearing their homes of water logged possessions - everything was dumped outside ready for the army to collect it. The locals all recounted how quickly everything happened on Tuesday morning - when the Ngaruroro River came up so high it tore through the stop bank protecting the town - forcing them to flee. Now they've returned to take stock of the damage. Sally Murphy visited Omahu and spoke to Hamoira Sciascia, among others.
