Māori language, tikanga and Te Tiriti principles honoured at work
A nationwide survey of almost 5000 Kiwis has uncovered startling data on our cultural competency – that is, our understanding and application of te reo Māori, tikanga Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles in the workplace.
Fewer than half of us understand how Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles can be applied to the work that we do, and we struggle with confidence in this area.
Overall, however, there is an appetite for change, with most New Zealanders surveyed indicating they would strongly support their workplace offering a Māori perspective on their work, partnering with Māori groups and organisations more readily and actively valuing te ao Māori.
