Department of Labour Annual Report 2006/07
The Department’s annual report documents our achievements in 2006/2007. It shows we did a great deal to improve labour market outcomes for the benefit of all New Zealanders, employers, employees, their families, and the economy.
The report shows the 2006/07 year was significant for the Department. We reduced barriers to those entering or re-entering the labour market and worked actively to increase productivity and ensure workplaces are safe and attractive for workers. In particular, we worked closely with a number of Pacific countries to address seasonal labour shortages while at the same time boosting the skills and economies of those countries.
All the Department’s outcomes reflect the Government’s priorities of economic transformation, national identity and families – young and old.
