Specifically Pacific report highlights young Pacific workers

A report by the Equal Employment Opportunities Trust (EEO Trust) published in November 2011 provides much-needed information about the situation for young Pacific workers in New Zealand. Specifically Pacific: Engaging Young Pacific Workers explores the drivers for workforce participation of young Pacific employees, their career aspirations and expectations, and the enablers and barriers to participation and engagement in the workforce. It concludes that the enablers and barriers are multi-layered, involving a complex mix of individual, family, cultural and organisational elements. The managers interviewed for the study provide a basis for establishing some working guidelines on how to manage young Pacific workers.
