BUSINESS SEGMENT REVIEWS
PEOPLE, SAFETY
& RISK
Vector takes a comprehensive, Group-wide and future-focused approach to fostering and protecting the things that are already of, or we believe can create, material value for the business, including people, communities, assets and the environment. This means we strive to understand the macro forces in which we operate and the value drivers and enablers for our people, business, stakeholders and customers. And we believe Vector has a responsibility to lead, not follow, in acting and advocating for the things that matter. The six months to 31 December 2018 saw continued business leadership. In October 2018, Vector was recognised as the first New Zealand business to receive the Accessibility Tick. The Accessibility Tick is a public recognition of an organisation’s ongoing commitment to becoming accessible and inclusive of people with disabilities. We did this because we believe diverse, inclusive and accessible workplaces results in a more successful business and can help attract talent. In October 2018, Vector also introduced new enhancements to our parental leave policy which aim to reduce the financial burden for new parents and provide extra time off for employees to support their partners. As part of this we are offering to top up the Government Primary Carers payments to support new parents. Vector continues to work with young women to promote interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) careers. In the first half of the financial year we supported initiatives including ShadowTech, Rosie Revere Engineer and entered into a sponsorship agreement with GirlBoss New Zealand. The sponsorship involves funding ten workshops in secondary schools and introduces a sustainability award category to the GirlBoss New Zealand Awards which recognises the achievements of trailblazing young women.
