🗓Today, we’re proudly celebrating Pink Shirt Day at Waipā Networks.

Pink Shirt Day is all about standing together against bullying and creating workplaces and communities built on kindness, inclusion, and respect.

Our team marked the day by wearing pink, sharing lunch together, and taking time to connect. Sometimes, the small moments of support and connection can make the biggest difference.
