The vision for how we create a diverse, inclusive and safe Aotearoa includes:
- Educating and supporting our people's wellbeing with 'ecosystem' thinking. We need to become comfortable with having difficult and nuanced conversations
- Intentionally creating rich opportunities to come together to listen, celebrate, cross-pollenate and solve problems together
