The six State Services Development Goals provide focus for the efforts of all state services agencies to improve performance and increase New Zealander’s confidence in the system as a whole.
The shared goal is to deliver a system of world class professional State Services serving the government of the day and meeting the needs of New Zealanders.
Te Puni Kōkiri recognises that investment in the six goals can be mutually reinforcing. Progress in improving performance toward each goal can make it easier to reach the published milestones in the others. For example, lower staff turnover and better staff engagement are both indicators of progress toward the Employer of Choice goal. These gains also contribute to achieving Value for Money. Similarly, better Accessibility for Māori to state services and evidence of improved Value for Money will both contribute to New Zealanders trust (and confidence) in their State Services.
Te Puni Kōkiri can and does contribute in these ways to a stronger State Services system and better performance. A stronger, better Connected, Networked and Accessible system of State Services can, in turn, also contribute strongly to the outcomes that are central to Te Puni Kōkiri.
Te Puni Kōkiri outputs will include continued investment in activities that support each of the six goals, with particular emphasis this year on demonstrating value for money.
The Relationship and Information Wahanga contributes through its regional networks to the State Sector goal of “Provide Accessible State Services”. This is done through brokering relationships between whānau, hapū, iwi, Māori communities and organisations with government, including local government that can assist Māori to have greater participation, inclusion and access to government resources and services. This is of particular importance in the current economic climate given the likelihood of disparate impacts on Māori.
