Young Pacific people are a growing proportion of the New Zealand workforce but very little is known about what helps them contribute fully at work.
This research asked young Pacific people and their managers how workplaces can get the best from these talented young people.
The report is structured as follows:
− Literature review: This review covers literature on employee engagement, international and New Zealand literature on engaging younger workers, and literature on Pacific workers in New Zealand.

− Implications and conclusions: The final chapter highlights the key findings of the research.
− Appendices with research methodology, a description of the study participants, and references.
