The Centre’s public education programme including the annual Trends in Employment Agreements and Employment Law Update seminars are highly valued by practitioners across New Zealand.

The Centre for Labour, Employment and Work (CLEW) is the leading research organisation in New Zealand on collective bargaining and union membership; providing a forum for research into employment relations, human resource management, labour markets and workplace issues.

We support research needs in government, business and NGOs, with particular strengths in quantitative research and survey methodology.
