The Good Employer Matrix (GEM)

Defining quality employment for Māori and Pasifika in Aotearoa New Zealand

What is GEM?

The GEM is a tool that aims to see more Māori and Pasifika progress into senior, well-paid, resilient jobs and provides employers with the tools, knowledge and resources needed to make this happen.

Matrix

As a way for organisations to see how they are performing when it comes to creating equitable work outcomes for Māori and Pasifika, we have developed a self-assessment tool - The Matrix. It sets a standard for what good, great and leading looks like. A way for organisations to see how they are progressing and identify areas for improvement.

GEM Toolkit

We have developed a toolkit of resources to support organisations on their journey to achieving more equitable work outcomes for Māori and Pasifika across the following four areas.

The overriding goals are focused on recruitment, retention, progression and representation of Māori and Pasifika in higher-paid roles
