This Technical Report informs the Executive Summary and action plan on increasing representation of women that was presented to the Police Executive Meeting in October 2013.
A separate Career Survey Results document details the methodology and results from the internal survey undertaken as part of this review.
The three documents produced from the review of Representation of Women in Senior Management Roles include the Technical Report, Executive Summary and the Career Survey Results.
Purpose
To review Police's approach to ensuring equal opportunity for gaining promotion, with a specific focus on women being promoted into senior management and gateway roles. The objective was to identify what is working well, and opportunities for improving the rate of change in representation of women in senior roles through:
- assessing whether Police's strategy for increasing representation of women in senior management roles is consistent with international good practice and other NZ organisations
- assessing the extent to which the strategy is implemented and actively managed at the national and district level
- identifying activities that facilitate or act as barriers to promotion within Police.
