Our people

We are a diverse team whose work supports communities across Aotearoa New Zealand: our people are taonga (what is precious) and our greatest strength.

We want MBIE to be the place where people want to work. Our people should feel they belong, are engaged, can grow professionally, and have the skills and environment to deliver MBIE’s purpose.

MBIE’s People Strategy, He Rautaki Hīkinga Tāngata, has 4 pillars.

  1. Empower/Whakamana: Creating a safe, trusting and inclusive environment for our people to thrive.
  2. Develop/Whakawhanake: Developing our people so they can grow and deliver for Aotearoa New Zealand.
  3. Evolve/Whakapakari: Continuously improving our processes and tools to make things easier and more efficient for our people.
  4. Enable/Whakakaha: Co-designing innovative, best-fit solutions with our stakeholders and partners, being an exemplar of people practices in the Public Service.
