Kia Toipoto, the Public Service Gender, Māori, Pacific, and Ethnic Pay Gap Action Plan (2021–2024), officially concluded at the end of 2024 as a dedicated work programme. However, efforts to reduce pay gaps continue under the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work programme, now aligned with Papa Pounamu.
The Kia Toipoto Action Plan focused on improving equity and fairness in public service workplaces, including removing bias and discrimination; fair and equitable pay; recruiting and retaining diverse talent; and cultivating inclusive work environments. ESR remains committed to the Kia Toipoto focus areas to ensure equity and fairness in the workplace.
