Whether you are a fresh face or a long-time BWARE champion (some of you have been with us for over 10 years! How awesome is that?!), we are thrilled to kick off this new way of staying connected with you. Our goal? To keep you in the loop with industry insights, exciting product updates, and a sneak peek at what our passionate team has been working on behind the scenes.
We are thrilled to introduce a revamped Workplace section, packed with new features and improvements to make managing your Safety Plans even easier:
To keep delivering the service you expect (even in this challenging economy), we are making a small 5% subscription adjustment—our first in four years. We get that times are tight for small businesses, so we are introducing a monthly direct debit option at no extra cost. If that is a better fit for you, just drop us a line at accounts@bware.co.nz and we will get you set up!
At BWARE, we are evolving beyond a product-only model and expanding into done-with-you system-related services. As a team of health and safety experts, we are committed to delivering value-added services that help our members get the job done.
Keep an eye on our website for the launch of our new Services page, where you will find a full range of ways, we can help you optimise your BWARE system and strengthen your overall health and safety performance.
Whether its system review and optimisation, help creating forms or safety plans, through to the training and guidance for new administrators, reach out to us at helpdesk@bware.co.nz to arrange a free consultation and no-obligation quote.
BWARE is excited to continue supporting you on your health and safety journey! Keep an eye out for future editions, we have plenty more to share.

Kevin Haskins

Health and safety is more than just ticking boxes, it is about understanding how work actually happens and creating systems that support workers in real-time. That is where Human & Organisational Performance (HOP) comes in. Instead of focusing only on compliance, HOP helps businesses shift their approach to safety by recognising that:
Here are a couple of useful links to Human & Organisational Performance:
The 5 Principles of Human Performance, Todd Conklin
Safety Differently, Sidney Dekker
The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error, Sidney Dekker
These reforms are part of a broader initiative to make health and safety regulations more practical and less cumbersome for businesses, without compromising worker safety.

We have been hard at work supporting our members with their queries and are currently developing updated tutorials for the upcoming Workplace and App Refresh release. We will make these tutorials available to you ahead of the launch on 19th May, ensuring you are familiar with the updates and ready to navigate the changes with confidence.
Several of our members have recently achieved great success through our administrator and team training sessions. If you have a new administrator or would like to build your team’s confidence and skills using the BWARE system, we’re here to help. These sessions are designed specially for our members. Get in touch with us to learn more about how our customer-focused training can help strengthen your team’s skills and confidence with the BWARE system.
In future newsletters, we will use this section to share helpful hints, tips, and real-world examples of how members are using BWARE’s tools to strengthen their health and safety practices.
If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at helpdesk@bware.co.nz — we are here to help!
