Action plan
Building on the heart of Ki te rā we developed an action plan, which can be found on pages 10 through 22 of the document.
Objectives and actions were created with input from students and staff, guidance from expert advisers, research, our wellbeing data, exemplars, and we were purposeful about drawing from mātauranga Māori and Pasifika approaches.
Ki te rā is a framework to help everyone at the University understand and embed wellbeing into their mahi. The action plan doesn't list everything we could or will do but shows what we think is most important.
