The Grace Road Group has issued a response to the Ministry of Employment’s recent announcement concerning potential violations of the Employment Relations Act 2007 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1996. The ministry’s report raised concerns about the group’s adherence to important employee rights and workplace safety regulations.
According to the ministry, ongoing investigations are being carried out to further examine the issues highlighted during their inspection of the Grace Road Group. In their defense, the group stated that they had not been informed of any inspections or findings prior to the ministry’s statement, hindering their ability to address the alleged breaches.

This situation highlights the importance of transparent communication between businesses and regulatory bodies, as well as the ongoing commitment of companies like Grace Road Group to contribute positively to their communities. As investigations continue, it will be crucial for both the group and the Ministry of Employment to work collaboratively to ensure compliance and maintain the trust of local employees.
In the face of challenges, Grace Road Group’s commitment to local employment and community development offers a promising outlook for the future.
