Judges’ comments<\/h4>\n

We were very impressed with the overall design and usability of this online tool, and we think New Zealand\u2019s many small business owners will find it very useful. The structure and commentary simplify a seemingly complex set of options. We particularly liked the tips, the highlighting of common mistakes, and the use of the three colour-coded clause types: Mandatory, Recommended, and Optional.<\/p>\n

Media release<\/h4>\n

Business.govt.nz is delighted to be a finalist for the People\u2019s Choice \u2014 Best Plain English Communication for our Employment Agreement Builder.<\/p>\n

Business.govt.nz exists to make business easier for New Zealand\u2019s 600,000 small businesses. We do this by packaging across government information into tools and resources designed to meet their needs. This means we focus on creating clear, easily understood content. Plain English standards are key part of this.<\/p>\n

The WriteMark Awards are a great way to encourage organisations to focus on clear communications and plain English. We\u2019d like to thank WriteMark and the sponsors for supporting this movement.<\/p>\n
