Good employer performance
We provide career development and training opportunities, in addition to Fellowships.
We are committed to being a good employer beyond our legislative responsibilities.
We believe that if Manaaki Whenua adheres to manaaki tangata values (health,
safety, development, rewards), staff will be more satisfied with both
their work and life. We are not aware of any legislative non-compliance
occuring during the year.

in 2003/04.
# benchmark data from other CRIs.
We introduced an optional Health Care Plan that includes a health check-up (provided to 228 staff during the year) and continued other initiatives such as free flu vaccinations and melanoma checks.
Managing funding changes
| In September 2003 we lost PGS&T funding for some research. Altogether 23 staff were affected by unfavourable funding decisions. Of the 23, two staff resigned, five took redundancy, five others accepted reduced hours, and 11 staff remain in full employment with us. For some this meant change —with some very positive benefits. Chris Bailey, for example, has taken on a completely new role as our ‘front man’ for Enviro-Mark®NZ in Auckland. Enviro-Mark®NZ is Manaaki Whenua’s environmental, health and safety management system. |  Chris Bailey and the Enviro-Mark®NZ car |
