"Embracing diversity and inclusiveness to support our common purpose, respecting our differences and accepting those of all faiths and none, whilst confident in our Christian roots and traditions. Everyone should feel included in our St John family."

Timoti Pahi, Chief Māori Adviser, Hato Hone St John:

Hato Hone St John has created a comprehensive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) plan after conducting internal and external assessments of our culture and current diversity, equity, and inclusion status. The strategy outlines initiatives spanning three years that aim to provide our members with new and improved opportunities to increase their competency and awareness in diverse areas. We offer a wide range of training modules, guest speakers, workshops, and regular communication. We regularly gather employee feedback through surveys regarding DEI and diverse groups to further shape our future efforts.

We keep the broader organisation updated on our progress and provide opportunities to celebrate and foster a sense of belonging.
