There are a number of public sector commitments and MBIE work programmes which support the mahi the agency is doing to improve diversity and inclusion, to close gender and ethnic pay gaps and create fairer workplaces. These are described below:
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has awarded the team behind Maximising Workforce Participation for Older New Zealanders the Endeavour Fund’s highest rating of Gold Status for their research.
This section covers areas where some preparatory work has been undertaken. These work areas have been identified as important to progress. However, further policy planning, development and/or dedicated funding are required to shape up work programmes in the future.
We recently sought feedback on the exposure draft of the Customer and Product Data Bill (the draft law) and the accompanying discussion document.
The draft law will give customers more control over their data, allowing them to safely and securely access, manage, and share this data with others.
Everything we do at MBIE is about Growing New Zealand for All. We recognise that a strong economy is one in which we use the skills, knowledge and time of our people in conjunction with our natural resources, and financial and physical capital to improve the wellbeing of current and future generations. We worked closely with Treasury to shape and deliver the Government’s Economic Plan which sets out the action needed to transition New Zealand’s economy to one that is productive, sustainable and inclusive.
Our five outcomes outlined in our Statement of Intent show how MBIE aims to support sustainable economic performance and build an economy that improves wellbeing across New Zealand.
