Māori Cultural Confidence

How do I grow my understanding of Māori experience in the workplace?

The number of Māori employees in the food and fibre sector in Aotearoa New Zealand is steadily increasing, with one in five employees now identifying as Māori.

Recognising and valuing the unique cultural perspectives of Māori employees is not only a matter of inclusivity and respect but also a strategic advantage. By creating an environment that embraces te ao Māori (the Māori world), employers can enhance workplace cohesion, improve employee satisfaction, and drive innovation.

We have also developed a helpful glossary of te reo Māori for your ease.
