Wāhaka tuatoru: Ōtākou RSLG he tukanga | Chapter 3: Otago RSLG 2023 actions
On this page
In our inaugural 2022 Regional Workforce Plan (RWP), the Otago RSLG set out 18 actions to support our vision for the region. Over the past 12 months, we have achieved a number of our objectives, advanced our thinking and reviewed our workplan. The revised actions below represents that.
We have also worked to ensure that our actions support the 3 themes identified, deliver on our aspirations, and reflect our extensive engagement in the region. We are now seeking to work on 9 action points, as described below. Progress on our actions from the 2022 RWP can be found in chapter 5.
