💧 Vector Lights is going blue for World Drowning Prevention Day, the World Health Organisation’s initiative to unite us all as we strive to make a difference to prevent drowning. In 2023, we lost 90 lives in the waters of Aotearoa New Zealand – the highest in a decade. Drowning Prevention Auckland’s mission is to reduce the number of drowning fatalities to zero across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland through education, research, and advocacy. #GoingBlueNZ #DPAgoingblue ✨ #vectorlights with Auckland Council and NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi | Drowning Prevention Auckland

🏊 Did you know Vector sponsors Vector Wero Whitewater Park, which offers a school water safety programme to teach Kiwi kids how to stay safe in the water? More than 17,000 have taken part so far! The goal is that every student of South Auckland experiences this community programme during their school years. Vector Lights will go blue tomorrow for World Drowning Prevention Day (25 July) alongside many other landmarks across Aotearoa New Zealand. #GoingBlueNZ #DPAgoingblue ✨ #vectorlights with Auckland Council and NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi

  🧠 😊 Mental health is crucial to all our employees’ wellbeing, but it can be a challenging topic to raise and a tricky one to navigate. Enter 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝, with courses from their team of psychologists, counsellors and mindfulness trainers.  As part of our wellbeing programme at Vector, we recently put our first cohort through a six-week mindfulness course which covers everything from understanding the brain, effectively processing emotions, and changing negative thought patterns to stress management strategies and building emotional intelligence.   It’s based on research-based cognitive behavioural therapy and science-backed mindfulness techniques – and it made a clear impact on our team. Here is just some of their feedback:  • "The best workshop I’ve been part of – it was beneficial for work but also for personal life. I wish I had done this 20 years ago!"  • “A good overview of what brain states are and how they affect perception, behaviour, interactions and relationships with others.”   • “The perfect tool set for personal and professional growth and development.” ❓ What does your company do to optimise wellbeing at work? We’d love to hear about it in the comments.  #wellbeing #workplacewellbeing #mentalhealth #mindfulness

✨ This year, as part of our Matariki celebrations, we were lucky enough to welcome some very special guests to our offices in Auckland. The kapa haka group from Sancta Maria College came and shared a number of powerful performances alongside stories about the Matariki star cluster. Yesterday’s event gave us an opportunity to come together to reflect on the past year, celebrate the present and take time to think about the year ahead. The celebration was complete with a delicious feast of hangi, fried bread and rēwena bread. Food is central to the celebration of Matariki, with Māori believing that the appearance of Matariki in the morning sky in winter would determine the success or failure of kai harvesting. The theme for this year is ‘Matariki heri kai’ and comes from the Māori proverb ‘Matariki whetū heri kai’ meaning ‘Matariki, the bringer of food’. 🙌 Big thanks to all the organisers, especially Kerri Perham for bringing this special event to life and to your whānau for helping with the wonderful kai. What a gathering it was. The room was full, as were our bellies. Thank you. Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori. Helena Chan | Hayden Poole | Teina Teariki Mana | Jenny Wood

Did you know that only around 14% of engineers here in New Zealand are women? Sunday was International Women in Engineering Day – a day that marks the importance of continuing to raise the profile of women within the field of engineering and also awareness of engineering as a career. It was a timely opportunity for us to catch up with Diviya Chhagan, a current graduate engineer here at Vector, and hear about her experiences so far of studying, and now working, with us over the last 18 months.  #INWED24 #WomeninEngineering #STEM

💡 Last Thursday we had the pleasure of hosting entrepreneur Kendra Ross, a leading figure in the cybersecurity industry . She kindly joined us as a guest speaker to talk about the world of cybersecurity, some of her experiences to date and cyber’s critical role across all business sectors.   In a discussion led by our chief operations officer Peter Ryan we talked about how cybersecurity is no longer just the domain of IT and technology departments, but something that is hugely important for everyone to be aware of. It was interesting to reflect back on and learn how cybersecurity has evolved over time with the increased sophistication of threats and the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI).   🔗We also learned about Kendra’s fascinating career and how she got into cybersecurity, her experience building businesses, her time as a board member on CERT NZ as well as many other amazing achievements.    We were certainly left with lots to think about. 🙌 Thank you so much Kendra!   #cybersecurity #risk #AI
