PEOPLE & CULTURE
Living our Values
Frameworks don’t live on a page. They live through the people who bring them to life every day.
This year, we saw the Value of Our People, Our Strength in action across the organisation. Defined as standing beside one another and fostering a culture where together, the future is what we make it, this Value was reflected in acts both large and small, from mentoring and supporting colleagues to stepping up during significant periods of change and delivering major strategic projects.
Our monthly Values recognition programme highlighted examples of kaimahi going above and beyond for one another, including mentoring younger team members, supporting the successful Stand transaction, and providing extra leadership and support during the Long Term Plan process. These moments reinforce a culture where success is shared, people are supported to grow, and the strength of the organisation comes from the collective contribution of its people.
Diversity & Inclusion
We are committed to creating an engaging workplace where our kaimahi (staff) and governors reflect the diverse communities we serve. By fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and respected, we empower our people to thrive. This year’s review of Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) metrics ensures we remain accountable and transparent in our progress, helping us build a culture where belonging is at the heart of everything we do.
