Ngā kauwaka is our culture. Our four kauwaka are the vessels that carry knowledge and mindsets that prepare and inspire our people, enabling us to deliver our purpose of making Kiwi better off.
Together, we’ll nurture and develop an inclusive culture where we can all belong, that encourages us to do our best work through learning and growth. Our culture is about what we see, what we say and do and what we think and believe. Not only does this define how our culture supports us to put our customers at the heart of everything we do, it helps us understand the mindsets that will get us there.
The first kauwaka were used to hold “Ngā Kete o te Wānanga”, the three baskets of knowledge. Kauwaka are vessels that carry knowledge and mindsets that prepare, inspire and enable us all. Kiwibank has four kauwaka, each holding a different mindset enabling our team to deliver on our purpose of Kiwi Making Kiwi Better Off.
