Our Philosophy and Values

Kaupapa

Our mission statement:

Whakaarikihia to tåtou Rangatiratanga

Your success + Our success = Influences our collective success

Our mission is upheld by the following values:

	Kaitiakitanga embraces spiritual and cultural guardianship. In our business, kaitiakitanga means the active protection of all things deemed precious such as the environment, people, knowledge and traditional practice. This means managing the business in an ethical and sustainable manner, setting clear strategic direction, accounting for resources assuring risk and promoting strategies that sustain a viable future for our whanau and mokopuna.
	Manaakitanga acknowledges the mana of others as having equal or greater importance than one’s own. This is generally through the expression of hospitality, generosity, absolute care and regard. It is about maintaining the profile of our business by offering high quality services and products. This is ensured by providing effective, efficient and consistent management of our internal systems, structures and relationships. This includes undertaking regular reviews of all products and services to ensure we stay abreast of the ever changing environment.
	Whanaungatanga underpins the social organisation of whānau, hapu and iwi and includes rights and reciprocal obligations consistent with being part of a collective. It is the principle which binds individuals to the wider group and affirms the value of the collective otherwise known as inter-dependence. Whakawhanaungatanga includes establishing and maintaining strong reciprocal relationships, both internally and externally. MokoPuna Solutions Ltd seeks to encourage a collaborative, whanau approach to all things we do. This also includes exposing clients to a wider support network to ensure sustainable development opportunities. It is about strategic and sustainable nation building.
	Kotahitanga is the principle of unity of purpose, direction and the achievement of a common vision. The organisational vision and mission are central to the strategic direction of our business. Kotahitanga in action is unity of intent – that which allows and encourages individual expression but serves a common purpose. This means seeking out other like-minded affiliates, moving collectively, supporting, strengthening and guiding the creation of other alliances.
	Tohatoha is the redistribution of wealth back out to the contributing collective. This means acknowledging everyone’s active participation in the achievement of our business goal and the redistribution or return of benefits back out to the collective. The presence of this principle indicates the true achievement of our vision.
	Rangatiratanga is the expression of rangatira attributes including leadership, generosity, diplomacy, humility and sharing for the benefit of the collective. As a workplace, rangatiratanga is reflected in the autonomy and self-determination afforded to our clients. Personal indicators of rangatiratanga include but are not limited to individuals being living exponents of; Pono - honest, truthful Tika - upholding what is right Aroha - expressing our truths in a respectful manner Mana - managing personal influence Mauri - sustaining personal vitality Wairua – encouraging spiritual capacity Tapu – maintaining protective qualities, principles When these are expressed, it is seen as the manifestation of a person’s Mana Atua (intuitive wisdom), Mana Tüpuna (ancestral responsibility & obligation) and Mana Whenua (land responsibility & obligation). This serves as a code of conduct for staff and clients.
