Our work is part of wider work being done by Kāhui Tū Kaha to address social and health inequities in Aotearoa.
We have been giving voice to the marginalised experiences of rainbow employees for over 10 years. We began this work with a mission to address the negative health outcomes associated with heteronormativity by improving LGBTTQIA+ inclusion in our workplaces. Our mission remains unchanged. We are proud to deliver diversity and inclusion services from a foundation of indigeneity.
Pānui | News
We’re proud to have members across a wide range of industries, from those with just a few employees to others that are 10,000+ strong. These are employers with an ongoing commitment to creating safe and welcoming workplaces for rainbow employees.
We seek to advance the safety and inclusion of LGBTTQIA+ people in workplaces across Aotearoa by evaluating existing workplace cultures and supporting workplaces to create safe and inclusive workplaces.
Mōhiotanga | Education
We believe accessible education on rainbow inclusion is key to creating safe and welcoming workplaces. We offer a range of educational resources aimed at opening up non-judgmental learning conversations and advising on how to best support rainbow colleagues.
We will listen to your needs and tailor our support to the needs of your people.
Aratakina | Consultation
We can advise on the implementation of inclusive practices, policies, training and development related to Rainbow communities in Aotearoa. Whether you are looking to create a Gender affirmation policy and an accompanying Transitioning at Work Plan, you are needing a review of specific policies through a Rainbow lens or you are looking for expert rainbow inclusion advice on a specific project, please get in touch.
Whakamanatanga | Certification
Rainbow Tick certification involves an evaluation of your existing workplace culture through the review of organisational policies and practices, and surveying of your staff. If criteria for Rainbow Tick certification are not fully met, specific recommendations are made to guide you in achieving certification.
We support community initiatives benefitting rainbow communities throughout Aotearoa via The New Zealand Charitable Trust.
