Advisers adjust to heightened alert levels
Katrina Shanks, chief executive of Financial Advice New Zealand, said the announcement on Tuesday evening of a return to alert level three for Auckland and two for the rest of the country was disappointing.
“However, in a few days we will have a better understanding of the scale of the new cases and the alert levels which will follow. As always advisers will ensure they and their employees are safe and then will reach out to their clients to offer re-assurance and offer any assistance.”
She said Auckland advisers were being strongly encouraged to work from home. In the rest of New Zealand, advisers would need to focus on contact tracing, and stay away from the workplace if they were unwell.
“At Financial Advice NZ we will continue to support our advisers in any way we can and continue to connect with regular communications and webinars to ensure we have a strong supportive community.”
