What we do

We can help you hire the right people for your business and create quality employment outcomes. Quality employment outcomes will:

  • open roles up to a more diverse range of employees
  • increase the capability and capacity of New Zealand's workforce
  • help employees feel their work has value, meaning and purpose.

Economic Benefits

Government agencies can deliver economic outcomes that benefit New Zealand when procuring goods, services or works. This means suppliers to government should be considering how they can deliver outcomes such as “increasing workforce participation, providing training or apprenticeships, improving pay or conditions” as well as “contributing to positive social and cultural outcomes in New Zealand communities.” You can find out more about these rules on the Government Procurement website:
