Our employee-led networks
At Kāinga Ora we are committed to growing diversity across the organisation and enabling a culture of inclusion in everything we do.
Kāinga Ora is an organisation that aspires to be a wonderful place to work, an innovative and supportive supplier of services, and a respectful and valued partner to our suppliers and the communities we work with and within. We recognise that central to achieving these objectives will be the ability of the organisation and all those who work here to embrace and harness the principles and practices of diversity and inclusion.
As a diverse and inclusive Kāinga Ora, we want our people to:
- Experience fair and equitable employment opportunities and a workplace free from discrimination.
- Feel safe, protected and valued at work.
- Can and do bring their whole selves to work.
- Connect, understand and reflect the communities we serve.
We have a number of employee-led networks that are a safe space for discussion, sharing and learning for all.
