Engaging with our People Te Tare Taake Inland Revenue's aim is to create an environment for our people to be open and honest about their lived experiences
What are we trying to achieve Te Tari Taake Inland Revenue wants to be representative of all the communities we serve, and see diversity at all levels of the organisation.
Measuring change - inclusion and our people experience Our people tell us they like our flexible, supportive and inclusive environment.
Gender pay gaps Inland Revenue Te Tari Taake has continued to take deliberate action to ensure gender and ethnicity are not a determining factor in what people get paid.
Ethnicity pay gaps Over the last year pay gaps have been decreasing across all groups
Measuring change - representation Overall, Inland Revenue Te Tari Taake’s employee ethnicity closely reflects the ethnicity breakdown in New Zealand.
Measurement Unless otherwise stated, measurement is from 1 July 2024.
Focus on Pacific Peoples representation Pacific people make up 9.3% of our workforce, with 7% being Pacific wāhine. (The New Zealand Population is approximately 8% Pacific peoples).
Focus on disability Based on data collected from our people at the time of onboarding, only 4.3% of our people have told us that they have a disability. But with disabled people accounting for 24% of New Zealand’s population, we know that this number is likely to be significantly higher.
