Our values
- Resilience – Our resilience, our strength for the future, comes from our confidence in and high expectations for the future, opportunities for meaningful participation, and a resourceful approach to any challenge.
- Manaaki me te tiaki tangata – We work with people, our partners, iwi and communities in a way best described by the Māori concept of whakamana tangata – embracing all with mutual respect and teamwork that enables people and communities to maximise their potential and be the best that they can be. We nurture and value all our relationships and actively build relationships that are outcome-focused and mutually beneficial to all parties.
- Work in life approach – We recognise our responsibility as leaders for improved decision-making leading to better quality work and life choices. We will model this approach to work and learning in our own lives and in the lives of people we work with.
