Workforce Diversity Action Plan 2026-2027

Strengthening workforce capability, leadership and organisational performance. This plan focuses on measurable actions that strengthen workforce capability, leadership effectiveness, employee experience, and organisational performance

Our People's Experience

Understanding our people’s experience helps MBIE identify opportunities to strengthen leadership, workplace culture, and workforce systems. Insights from workforce data, employee feedback, unions, employee-led networks, and Māori capability partners inform initiatives that strengthen employee experience, workforce capability, and organisational effectiveness.

Why Workforce Data Matters

Workforce data supports evidence-informed decision-making by helping MBIE identify patterns in employee experience, representation, recruitment, progression, and workforce capability.
