The strategy "Fostering Creative and Collaborative Communities" aims to build such communities through enhanced HR practices, diversified revenue streams, and empowerment of Māori and Moana voices. In HR practices, revising job descriptions to emphasize creativity and collaboration is key. Offering flexible work arrangements and mentorship programs empowers staff. Regular staff surveys and recognition programs enhance engagement and satisfaction.
To diversify revenue, leveraging partnerships and exploring grants are vital steps. Hosting fundraisers with local artists increases community engagement. Implementing an e-commerce platform and offering fee-based workshops also broaden income sources. In empowering Māori and Moana voices, establishing advisory boards and cultural programs is crucial. Promoting exhibitions and providing scholarships ensure representation and celebrate these cultures.
