Māori Cultural Confidence
How do I grow my understanding of Māori experience in the workplace?
The number of Māori employees in the construction sector in New Zealand is steadily growing. Māori account for approximately 16.7% of the total construction workforce.
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.
