Commitments to Tangata Whenua
MBIE’s plan reflects both Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations and requirements in the Public Service Act.
Proactively engaging with people across MBIE
MBIE is committed to building an organisation that reflects the communities it serves, at all levels. MBIE understands this is reliant on building an inclusive workplace to support attraction and retention of people from diverse backgrounds.
Key insights
MBIE is committed to gaining insights from both employee, workforce and remuneration data and directly from our people in order to improve the experiences and outcomes for its people.
Current state: Gender and ethnic pay and workforce representation
To report on MBIE’s pay gap, data analysis has been completed on criteria including gender and ethnic by pay gap, and representation of the workforce and leadership by levels of seniority.
Additional data of our people
Includes data from the Rainbow People Experience project and the ‘Enabling MBIE’ People Experience project.
MBIE’s pay gap reduction journey
MBIE is continuing to make strong progress towards closing the pay gaps.
Actions to move MBIE forward
To continue to make progress, a continued focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion is essential. MBIE needs to enable better representation across our workforce and in leadership.
