Beyond integrating te reo Māori into our app, we also have daily tari (office) kōrero (conversations) to encourage our people to explore te reo Māori and weave te ao Māori into their everyday lives.

Tauhoko Karakia: In collaboration with Nathan Riki, the Riki Consultancy whānau, and our internal te ao Māori employee network, we created a Tauhoko (Trade Me) Karakia. We use it to open and close all internal meetings to strengthen our team connection.

TupuToa Internship Programme: We’re proud to partner with TupuToa, an employment pathway that provides professional opportunities for Māori and Pacific tertiary students in corporate, government and community organisations.

Tari Translations: In collaboration with Riki Consultancy, we’ve introduced bilingual names for many everyday items in our offices in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and Pōneke (Wellington). This initiative is designed to help us all learn and grow our knowledge of te reo Māori.

Te ao Māori Community: A dedicated Slack channel for Māori employees and Te Ao Māori champions to connect and learn from each other in a safe space.
