Annual Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2007

Report on Equal Employment Opportunities

The Te Puni Kōkiri People Strategy recognises that it is people who embody our organisation’s potential. The Strategy provides a six year road map by identifying targets that will ensure Te Puni Kōkiri has the people with the capabilities to become the driving force for Māori succeeding as Māori in the Public Service. Te Puni Kōkiri recognises that to achieve our vision of a fully inclusive society we must ensure there is no barrier to individuals achieving their full potential.

In 2006/07 Te Puni Kōkiri commenced a Pay and Employment Equity Review. The review committee is widely drawn from across the organisation, represents all levels and includes the Public Service Association participation in line with our Partnership for Quality approach. All staff have been actively involved to inform the review through workshops and survey’s. The Review continues into the 2007/08 year with the Committee due to report findings and recommendations that address identified inequities, in October 2007. The subsequent action plan will influence the Te Puni Kōkiri Equal Employment Opportunities programme for the 2007/08 year and beyond.
