One NZ is proud to double down on its strategic partnership with Global Women, renewing for a further three years and underscoring our ongoing commitment to helping women thrive at work.
Beginning 2022, the partnership with Global Women has become a cornerstone of our diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategy and talent development programme. Through this renewed agreement, One NZ will continue to champion gender diversity in leadership – within our business and across the industry.
“We have some incredible females working at One NZ, and we want to support them as best we can. Partnering with Global Women complements our efforts as another great way we can help women at One NZ shine,” says Jason Paris, One NZ CEO and Global Women’s Champions for Change.
During the past three years, our partnership with Global Women has supported the development of female leadership through participation in their flagship programmes, Breakthrough Leaders and Activate Leaders. Other important outcomes include women making up 51% of our Senior Leadership Group, up from 46% in 2022, and women now account for more than half of all talent development opportunities.
"We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with One NZ - a company that walks the talk when it comes to inclusive leadership. Their results speak volumes: from growing the number of women in senior leadership to embedding equity into their development pathways. This renewed three-year commitment signals a bold investment not just in gender equity, but in the kind of leadership Aotearoa needs for the future,” says Katie Bhreatnach, CEO, Global Women.
The renewed partnership also strengthens our connection to national coalitions such as Champions for Change, and complements internal initiatives including Mana Wāhine (employee network), SheLeads, and our return-to-work programme.
Jason adds: “Having diverse teams is super important, and striving for more females in leadership positions is a key part of that. The feedback from our staff who have been on the Global Women programmes is glowing, and we’re pleased to extend this partnership.”
