Te Mahere Kia Toipoto Kia Toipoto Action Plan
Te Hiringa Mahara is committed to building on the actions of Kia Toipoto - Mahere Mahi Āputa Utu Ratonga Tūmatanui 2021-24 (Kia Toipoto – Public Service Pay Gaps Action Plan 2021-24). This is a comprehensive set of activities to help close gender, Māori, Pacific and ethnic pay gaps in the Public Service.
Under Kia Toipoto, agencies and entities with at least 20 employees in each comparative group are to publish their pay gaps, while also protecting the privacy of employees.
Te Hiringa Mahara is a new and relatively small organisation. As such, under those requirements, it does not have the historical data or the staff numbers, to publish employees pay gaps based on these groups (women, Māori, Pacific or ethnic).
Instead, we are using the data we do have and employee engagement, to develop our first Kia Toipoto Action Plan.
