Scientific Research - N/A, N/A, NZ
NZWRI conducts enquiry-driven research to explore the issues affecting people and work. Director of the Institute Professor Gail Pacheco is supported by Deputy Director Professor Jarrod Haar, and leaders of our specialist research groups. Our six specialist research groups enable over 70 research experts to provide high-quality research (at both a national and international level) that ticks the boxes for both academic rigour, as well as being relevant to policy makers in business, government, and the community in general. Our research largely regards labour market dynamics; employment relations; wellbeing and performance; diversity in the workplace; and the role of technology. The Institute also provides commissioned work for a range of external clients, with recent examples including work for the Productivity Commission, Ministry for Women, United Nations Women, Vodafone Foundation NZ, and the Blind Foundation. We place emphasis on a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach and rank engagement with external stakeholders as high priority.
