Tatou Katoa – Our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy
Our DE&I strategy is overlayed on the Te Whare Tapa Wha model which looks at 4 pillars: 1. Aha Wairua / Spiritual Wellbeing 2. Taha Hinengaro / Mental and Emotional Wellbeing 3. Taha Tinana / Physical Wellbeing 4. Taha Whānau / Family and Social Wellbeing
We believe that when all things are in balance, we thrive. Therefore, our wellness strategy is built into DE&I. We have 3 pillars within our strategy, Our Diversity, Our Wellbeing and Our Mahi. We aim to build a strong foundation where our people can bring their whole selves to work and where their voices are heard.
