Kaupapa Māori Leadership Development Program for ACC Staff

Our commitment to our people is we want ACC to be a place where we can be ourselves at work; where we are connected to our purpose and where wellbeing and development are prioritised. We�re seeking an existing and proven kaupapa Maori leadership development programme to enable and empower kaimahi Maori to bring their whakapapa/whole self to their mahi, leading by example and supporting others to do the same.

We describe kaupapa Maori as a way of operating or an approach, that is consistent with Maori values and philosophies, informed by a Maori worldview. Kaupapa Maori is strengths based. It promotes connection, a sense of belonging, respect, and empathy. Creating an environment with these strengths-based principles will foster positive critical thinking and behaviour, by all our people.

This programme should be designed to build the confidence and capability of those wanting to take a lead in how we engage with and create better outcomes for Maori, by enabling them to bring their voice and perspectives to the decision making and influencing tables that help ACC create better outcomes for injured Maori.

We want a kaupapa Maori leadership development programme that has delivered tangible outcomes in other organisations comparable to ACC in size and scope with similar diversity and inclusion goals. We want a programme that inspires the ropu to work on their development and actively progress in their careers.

We want a programme that challenges the cohort to think differently, builds confidence and stretches their skillsets.This is an awesome opportunity to support ACC�s Whaia Te Tika strategy. You will have a chance to contribute to the development of better outcomes for Maori in New Zealand through fostering a different way of thinking centred around kaupapa Maori.
