The webinars unpack nuanced Aotearoa specific topics with tools and knowledge for our leaders, advocates, and early adopters to build the workplace environment that we envision. The infographics provide an easy entry point for our people new to this mahi, bringing them into this space without overwhelm. We are incredibly grateful to this organisation for holding this important space.

 FAQ about our membership

Who can become a member of Te Uru Tāngata Centre for Workplace Inclusion?

Any organisation committed to building a fairer, more inclusive Aotearoa is welcome to join. Membership is open to private companies, public sector agencies, not-for-profits, iwi, and community organisations. While membership is held at the organisational level, individuals within member organisations can access its benefits. 

Can individuals join as members?

Membership is currently only available to organisations. However, individual professionals who share our values can engage through our Workplace Inclusion Accreditation programme, which is a pathway designed to recognise and support individual commitment to inclusion. 

How is Te Uru Tāngata different from other HR or business networks?

We’re not a generalist association - we specialise in workplace inclusion and culture change. Our focus sits at the intersection of workplace and community, recognising that organisations don’t operate in isolation: the health of your workforce, your talent pipeline, your customer base, and your social licence are all shaped by the world around you. Our work is grounded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, informed by diverse lived experiences, connected to global movements, and shaped through evidence, dialogue, and collective action. We exist to help our members lead meaningful, measurable change - driving both economic performance and social wellbeing.

How do I know which membership option is right for us?

 Your membership tier is based on two things: the size of your organisation (headcount) and your primary goals - whether that’s networking, training, tailored support, or a combination. Use our Membership Subscription Calculator to estimate your fee, or reach out to us for guidance. 

Why is there a joining fee?

New members receive significant onboarding support to help them get started, including tailored guidance, access setup, and induction to our tools and communities. This onboarding phase adds additional value that we don’t cross-subsidise through the rest of the network, so the joining fee ensures we can invest fully in your early success.

If your organisation has resigned or lapsed from membership for more than 12 months, the joining fee will apply again when rejoining. This is because the inclusion landscape shifts quickly and we want to ensure returning members receive a refreshed induction that sets you up well for the current environment.

What are the member licences?

Licences provide access to our Member Connect Forum - an online hub for peer learning, dialogue, and sharing - as well as full access to Resource Library, which includes tools, templates, and resources to support your journey. The number of licences included in your membership depends on your organisation’s size and tier. Licences are typically assigned to HR team members, inclusion specialists, DEI committees, employee network representatives, or executive sponsors. You can reassign them as your needs evolve, and purchase more at any time if your team grows or priorities shift.

Do members get access to all events?

Access depends on your membership type:

  • Inclusion Connect members receive free access to networking opportunities for licence holders, but training and larger events are not included or discounted.
  • Inclusion Grow and Inclusion Transform members receive discounted access to training and events for all employees in your organisation - including workshops, capability programmes, and large-scale events like our annual conference and the Diversity Awards.
Can we take part in working groups or special interest forums?

Yes! Members are encouraged to join our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and other collaborative spaces. These are opportunities to shape sector direction, contribute to shared knowledge, and connect with peers working on similar challenges. 

Can we get tailored advice or support as part of our membership?

Yes, depending on your membership type. Inclusion Transform members receive an advisory bundle that includes strategic check-ins, as well as discounts on assessments and customised support. However, all members can reach out for advice and if your query falls outside of your membership package, we’ll let you know and provide a quote for additional services if needed.

Can we use the Te Uru Tāngata Centre for Workplace Inclusion logo on our website or materials?

Yes, member organisations are welcome to display the logo to signal their commitment to workplace inclusion. We’ll provide usage guidelines and any related contractual requirements once your membership is confirmed.

Can we talk to someone before signing up?

Absolutely. We’d love to kōrero with you about your needs and how membership could support your inclusion journey. Just get in touch and we’ll arrange a time to connect.

How long does it take to activate our membership?

Once your application and payment are received, we aim to activate your membership within five working days. We’ll be in touch to help you get set up and ready to go.

How long does membership last, and how do renewals work?

Membership runs for 12 months from your join date. We’ll send you a renewal reminder and work with your key contact to ensure everything rolls over smoothly.

What happens if we miss a renewal deadline?

If your membership lapses, access to member-only content and services will be paused. But we’ll work with you to get things reinstated quickly once your renewal is confirmed.

Can we rejoin if we’ve been a member in the past?

Yes, we warmly welcome returning members. Let us know when you’re ready to rejoin - we can check if your previous details are still up to date and help you re-engage with ease. 

Can we upgrade or downgrade our membership?

Yes, if your organisation’s needs or size changes, you can adjust your membership accordingly. Some changes may involve an additional fee, and we typically don’t offer pro-rated pricing for mid-year adjustments. But get in touch and we’ll guide you through the process.

How do we update our key contacts or organisation details?

Just email us with any updates - whether it’s a new inclusion lead, accounts contact, or a name change. Keeping your records current ensures the right people receive access and updates.

Can we cancel our membership?

Yes, you can cancel at any time. Membership fees are non-refundable once paid, but if you’re considering cancellation, we encourage you to talk to us first - we may be able to help resolve any issues or adjust your membership to better suit your needs. 

What happens to our data if we leave?

We take data privacy seriously. If you choose not to renew, we’ll deactivate your access and securely archive your records in accordance with legislative requirements and audit standards.
