Workplace Culture

What you can do as an employer to create a safe and equal workplace

Cultivating Cultural Respect

Māori make up 11% in the construction industry and there are even less Māori women. With multiple genders, ethnicities and classes to consider, it can be a little daunting for employers to make sure everything is in ship-shape for a safe space for these wāhine.

Wāhine in the Trades

Māori make up 11% in the trades and there are even fewer Māori women. With multiple genders, ethnicities, and classes to consider, it can be a bit scary for us to make moves into the industry without knowing that it is safe.

Flexibility at Work

Life gives us a lot to juggle. Flexible work arrangements can help you manage it all.

Getting Flexible

There are lots of ways to look at flexible work solutions and they don’t necessarily mean working less. Flexibility is about helping people to manage their work and personal commitments while also meeting the needs of your business.

Respect not protect

The trades are a great place to work. They’re even better when everyone feels welcome.
