COVID-19 recovery

New Zealand needs to ‘work smarter, not harder’ is the implication – and an injection of smart, skilled, internationally experienced Kiwi and their capital could certainly help New Zealand improve this statistic.

But that opportunity currently hangs in the balance as thousands of talented offshore Kiwi reassess their place in the world, and if there is a better life for them ‘back home’.

The Kea Future Aspirations Survey of offshore Kiwi and those recently returned, suggests a large group of these global citizens still plan to return, but the landscape is rapidly changing.

Takutai Atrium

Sir Peter Gluckman recently said, “The window of opportunity for New Zealand to attract talent is evaporating as the developed world becomes vaccinated. Other countries, like Singapore, have moved swiftly, turning Covid-19 into opportunities to their advantage. 

“Start-up and scale-up are very different, and scale-up requires globally orientated expertise we are short in – we need to work with these returning Kiwis or risk being left behind,” he said.

A key issue for returning Kiwi is satisfactory employment.  While local businesses talk about skill shortages and a desperate need to attract international talent, our Kiwi explorers are expressing a growing disillusionment about the return home, with an issue of feeling valued front and foremost.

In fact, there is a significant mismatch between what Kiwi employers say they are offering and the experience of returnees. 

On the positive side, the report shows that 64% of Kiwi businesses are proactively seeking internationally experienced Kiwi to fill positions.

Yet, while 46% of businesses indicate international experience is highly desired and a plus, only 38% of returnees expect local businesses to fully understand and value their overseas experience.

And while local employers suggest that returnee wage expectations are too high, returnees say they’ve already discounted themselves to meet the market.

In fact, 52% of returnees indicate that they expect to earn less, or significantly less, in New Zealand – a financial set-back, coming on top of the many issues of getting through MIQ, finding somewhere to live, getting visas for partners, school for kids and more.

The ongoing call for the careful opening of borders to allow more skilled migrants essential to business and exporters, is getting louder by the day.  NZTech CEO Graeme Muller said recently there could be as many as 10,000 open tech roles in the market this month alone. Are we missing the opportunity to engage Kiwi who have, or are about to return home?

It seems that New Zealand employers are underestimating the total package that internationally trained and skilled expats present. 

Ganesh Nana, Chair of the New Zealand Productivity Commission Te Kōmihana Whai Hua o Aotearoa recently commented that: “Internationally experienced Kiwi contribute to Aotearoa through distinctive skills, knowledge, and connections that can help lift innovation and the governance of our businesses and industries. 

“We should look to capitalise on the strengths of returning and offshore Kiwis to deliver productivity lift and improvements to the wellbeing of all New Zealanders,” Nana said.

However, returnees are only half the story. The offshore Kiwi community is telling us they want to proactively contribute to New Zealand’s post-Covid recovery and ongoing success – if we give them the opportunity. The Kea report shows that of the 59% of Kiwi choosing to remain offshore, half of these are wanting to contribute to New Zealand in some meaningful way – with 18% of these interested in board and advisory positions. Their understanding of international business, the latest in technology, business processes and importantly their networks all serve to give our businesses a distinct advantage – if utilised!

The race is now on – with other nations starting to emerge from lockdown, vaccinating their populations and opening borders, the post-Covid talent grab has begun. 

With New Zealand having one of the highest offshore populations in the OECD, the time is now if we are to take the opportunity to leverage their skills, knowledge and networks.

So, more needs to be done – urgently – to engage with our most talented Kiwi explorers whether they are remaining offshore or coming home, to help them with the hurdles they face and to properly value their skills and experience for the benefit of all. 

This means as a nation we must recognise the value of our offshore population and better factor their potential into our planning and policy decisions.

It should also include: 

  • Closing the gap between returning kiwi and employers – encouraging employers to see the longer term, bigger picture implications of employing, valuing and retaining internationally experienced and skilled talent.
  • Looking further afield for board appointments, advisory positions, hard to fill roles or investment with our offshore Kiwi a great place start. A gift from the COVID-era is a new appreciation for distance working, let’s set this in motion.
  • Recognising that while the world’s borders remain closed now, the Post-Covid era will come, and with it, new opportunities and a need for fresh ideas and capital. Let’s foster our relationships with offshore Kiwi now and plan to be part of that future.

At Kea, we engage with our offshore and returning Kiwi every day. We field constant emails offering support and connection, we match offshore Kiwi with those on the ground who need them and we celebrate every successful integration we participate in.  

If you’d like to enlist the ideas, experience and networks of our offshore Kiwi to support your business, get in touch with Kea and let’s engage more of our global explorers for a more productive New Zealand.

Kea press release for the results of the Welcome Home Survey

This report builds upon the Kea Welcome Home Survey data published in November last year which showed a significant number of offshore Kiwi in regions including the UK, Australia, US and Canada had intended to return within the next two years. It was hoped this return of exploring Kiwi might deliver the skills and experience we desperately need to plug talent shortages and boost our nation’s productivity.

Almost nine months on, despite personal and professional obstacles, return intentions remain high – albeit somewhat delayed from earlier expectations. And, of Kiwi remaining offshore, the desire to support New Zealand from afar has never been stronger.

“We are still amidst an amazing opportunity to benefit from the skills, experience and investment of returning and offshore Kiwi, but frankly, we need to do more as a nation to engage them,” says Kea CEO, Toni Truslove.

“With many of our favoured nations for expats starting to move out of Covid-19 related lockdowns and personal restrictions, there is growing urgency to make the most of this enormous injection of human capital,” she said.

Ganesh Nana, Chair of the New Zealand Productivity Commission Te Kōmihana Whai Hua o Aotearoa agrees, adding “Internationally experienced Kiwi contribute to Aotearoa through distinctive skills, knowledge, and connections that can help lift innovation and the governance of our businesses and industries”. 

“We should look to capitalise on the strengths of returning and offshore Kiwis to deliver productivity lift and improvements to the wellbeing of all New Zealanders,” Nana said.

Key findings of the Kea Future Aspirations survey show that:

  • 31% of respondents intend to return to New Zealand, 25% of those within two years.
  • 11% of respondents are waiting until there is no managed-isolation required before they will return.
  • 69% of those planning to return are doing so permanently.
  • 15% of those who have already returned to NZ are considering moving offshore again when borders reopen, if they can’t find the right employment.
  • 45% of Kiwi remaining offshore express strong willingness to leverage offshore experience for the benefit of New Zealand.

Kea World Class New Zealand alumni Rob Fyfe also welcomes the report, saying that the frustration of returnees and the difficulty posed by a closed border and managed isolation system, is a key message coming through loud and clear.

“New Zealand is currently experiencing acute skilled labour shortages across a number of industries and roles. As this survey demonstrates, there is a long queue of highly skilled, experienced and motivated Kiwi expats keen to return to Aotearoa, as soon as the current border and MIQ requirements can be safely reduced. This expat talent pool will be immensely valuable to New Zealand’s Covid recovery, we should be doing everything possible to maximise this opportunity,” Fyfe said. 

In relation to skilled returnees, the report indicates we are far from fully utilising the opportunity in front of us with a distinct mismatch between what Kiwi employers are seeking and the experience of offshore candidates. While 46% of businesses indicate international experience is highly desired and a plus, only 38% of returnees expect local businesses to fully understand and value their overseas experience.

And while local employers suggest that returnee wage expectations are too high, returnees say they’ve already discounted themselves to meet the market.

In fact, 52% of returnees indicate they expect to earn less in New Zealand than they did offshore.

Yet, of those who have returned, and who remain offshore, a very high proportion still hope to ‘give back’ to our nation, with 45% expressing strong willingness to leverage offshore experience for the benefit of New Zealand.

Professor Sir Peter Gluckman, director of Koi Tū: The Centre for Informed Futures and president-elect of the International Science Council, applauded the findings of the Kea Welcome Home survey in November and spoke of the huge economic and cultural potential of these returnees. Now, he’s saying that we need to move fast to welcome our expats home or the opportunity may be missed.

“The window of opportunity for New Zealand to attract talent is evaporating as the developed world becomes vaccinated. 

“Other countries, like Singapore, have moved swiftly, turning Covid-19 into opportunities to their advantage. Start-up and scale-up are very different, and scale-up requires globally orientated expertise we are short in – we need to work with these returning Kiwis or risk being left behind,” Gluckman said. 

However returnees are only half the story. The Kea report shows that of the 59% of Kiwi choosing to remain offshore, half of these are wanting to contribute to New Zealand in some meaningful way – with 18% interested in board and advisory positions. Their understanding of international business, the latest in technology, business processes, and trading in foreign markets all serves to give New Zealand organisations a real head start – if utilised!

Truslove says that the report reflects an enormous opportunity for New Zealand.

“The talent, creativity and experience of our offshore Kiwi is outstanding and would be transformational for our economy providing they can be effectively engaged,” Truslove says.

“Their experience overseas means they can bring new perspectives and insights to our businesses, giving us the ability to continue to innovate and produce world-class products and services. It is up to the employers, trustees and entrepreneurs to engage with these exploring Kiwi, to make them welcome and to recognise the potential they present.

“New Zealand won international respect for its pandemic response, but now we need to make the most of this ‘once in a generation’ opportunity, and act now!” she said.

How does ABAC work with the public sector to clarify and agree on APEC 21’s driving priorities?

ABAC is in the business of influence. We develop thinking and ideas related to APEC’s priorities (and related to our own priorities) and we present them to APEC Ministers, Leaders and senior officials in the form of reports and letters. We use opportunities for direct dialogue to promote our recommendations. The most important direct dialogue is the one we have with APEC’s Leaders at the end of the year. We keep in close touch with work level officials who are preparing the decision-making for Leaders and Ministers. And individual ABAC Members liaise with their host governments to encourage attention to our work. So we work at all levels.

Why is it so important for the private sector to have the ability to consult with the public sector on intergovernmental forums such as this?

It is important that all APEC’s decisions are grounded in the reality of the real world and business. ABAC brings that perspective. Our job is to make sure that APEC’s decisions can work in practice. ABAC’s role is quite unique in that we have a direct line to those making the decisions. They’re not always able to take on all of our advice so then we recommend again. This is a long term game and we are very…..tenacious. But also patient.

Are businesses beneficiaries of APEC policies or do they play a key role in helping to bring them to life?

There is no doubt that business benefits from APEC policies which make doing business easier, cheaper and faster. But business also has a key role to play in ensuring APEC economies implement policies that benefit not just business but our communities as a whole. APEC’s traditional agenda is focused on trade – removing barriers in the form of tariff and non tariff barriers and putting in place better trade rules. Today APEC’s agenda goes far wider in ensuring the benefits of trade are shared, enabling women’s empowerment, addressing sustainability and now also promoting Indigenous economic development.

What are the steps that are taken afterwards by ABAC representatives to action the outcomes of New Zealand’s host year?

There is continuity in APEC and ABAC so next year when we are no longer in the Chair we will still be part of ABAC’s governance structure and we will be watching to make sure that the things we recommended are being put into action. New Zealand has always played a leading role in ABAC even when we are not chairing – for example by assuming the role of chairing ABAC Working Groups we will be looking to hold various positions of influence as we move into Thailand’s year and beyond.

How might ABAC and ultimately APEC empower and enable indigenous populations to benefit from their member state’s involvement in these forums?

I believe there are four primary approaches.

  • Implementation and resourcing of dedicated work streams to build the policy architecture needed to support the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives across APEC priority areas;
  • Elevating the success stories of Indigenous businesses to shift perceptions of Indigenous business and economies as underdeveloped;
  • Creating opportunities for Indigenous peoples to participate independently in the many activities these forums host at a senior leadership level to ensure that Indigenous perspectives are not diluted or filtered through officials-only channels;
  • And fundamentally keeping it on the agenda as a standing item of importance.

What can New Zealand’s business ecosystem be doing better to support the enablement of Māori business?

This is a big question and one that could be an article in and of itself! But here are four points as a starter:

  • Greater commitment to diversity and inclusion in business networks and forums so more Māori business leaders have exposure to the wider suite of opportunities available across the business community.
  • Deepening its understanding of the structural and systemic barriers that impact the ability of Māori businesses to scale or grow.
  • Building stronger relationships with Māori business leaders and Iwi Asset holding companies to better understand the rights and interests of Māori in a Treaty context and to strengthen cohesion across the business sector between Māori and non-Māori businesses.
  • Ensure relevant capabilities and lived experiences are included in the governance of leading New Zealand businesses – it’s the diversity of thought and perspective of partnership that will benefit the nation.

What does success look like for you in your role?

It looks like purposeful action and meaningful deliverables. Some of those will be immediate, and others will have medium to long term impact for our businesses in the APEC region. A degree of the work we do is slow moving and policy setting in nature – but that makes it no less relevant than the immediate results we can harvest. They all build towards a sustainable, dynamic, seamless, resilient and inclusive future for Aotearoa. And if we enjoy moving about the world in an open, transparent, rules based trading environment; which arguably is every exporter in New Zealand, then this work is deeply relevant.

Borders May Close – Minds Need Not

As a Kiwi who lived offshore for almost eight years, I relished the opportunity to build on my New Zealand based skills and perspectives. 
Operating a digital business in a highly competitive market sharpened my ability to understand audience behaviour. It taught me how to use data to drive strategy, ways to develop alternate revenue streams and importantly, how to lead teams through change.
I was beyond excited at the prospect of bringing these, often hard-learned skills home to Aotearoa to see how I might be able to help grow a company on the soil where I grew up.  

Rude awakening

Arriving home four years ago, however, proved to be a rude awakening.
I was told by more than one recruiter that my skills were irrelevant in NZ, that I should be ready to halve my salary and hope to work my way back into a leadership position over the coming years. 

This is my story, but it is also the story of so many Kiwi returning home.  
We are a passionate nation, proud of what we achieve collectively. 
We love to see companies like Xero and RocketLab on the world stage. 
Yet we are also more than a little unwelcoming of tall poppies, particularly if they come in the form of Kiwi returning home. 
For some reason we feel a sense of abandonment that they left us, and more than a dash of incredulity that in a reality-shifting moment like a global pandemic, they would want to be home amongst family, familiar faces and places. 
As a small island nation on the edge of the globe we have learnt to be self-reliant and to build things our way.
Our response to the covid-19 pandemic was also purpose-built to make the most of our natural maritime border.  

Risk of closed minds

But I sense that in the current moment we are at risk of closing our minds, as well as our borders. 
As a country we need more high value innovative companies like Soul Machines and Seequent, we need to increase our frontier firms and our productivity. 
Part of this could be achieved through driving diversity of thought and including not only cultural differences from amongst our resident population, but also the different perspectives gleaned from our whānau offshore and recently returned.
In my work with Kea, I have seen the breadth and depth of passionate thought leadership and experience within our offshore network. 
These unique global Kiwi deliver innovation in a wide range of industries, for other nations. What might it take for NZ to open our mind to what they have to offer us?  
With the country riding high in global brand perception, we have more global Kiwi than ever wanting to support the country they are so proud of – through the talent or investment of those who choose to return, or the ideas and perspectives of those who remain offshore.

Carpe Kiwi

It is up to us as a community to navigate the solution, grabbing on to the amazing opportunity that exists.
On my return to Aotearoa, I had some soul searching to do. 
I needed to rethink my skill set and find the right terms of reference to appeal to a New Zealand-based company. 
Importantly, I had to find the right way to integrate myself into its team and culture. 
Returning Kiwi would do well to do the same.
But an enormous opportunity also exists for NZ to be open to new ideas and to find ways to amplify returning Kiwi skills that might not sit in a job description. 
We need to lose the fear of being told there’s another way of doing things and be ready to embrace healthy challenges to the status quo – the impact could be far-reaching.

Open minds

While it may take a few years to improve cost of living, housing and traffic issues, the one thing every one of us can do right now, is to open our minds.
We are the employers, the policy makers, the community and the whānau who can welcome these valuable Kiwi back home.
 And for a group who largely made the call to give up their lives to return to the familiar, this emotional support could go an awfully long way to securing their ongoing loyalty and value.

Sea freight continues to be a challenge for both exports and imports, exacerbated by the hold up of an estimated USD9.6B goods per day during the stranding of the Ever Given mega-container ship in the Suez Canal and the critical shortage of refrigerated containers affecting food exporters. Earlier this year import delays at Ports of Auckland and the Chinese New Year holiday period further impacted retailers and manufacturers alike. 

To safeguard New Zealand’s international connectivity Transport Minister Michael Wood announced last month the extension of support for the aviation sector to the end of October 2021, with the possibility to extend further to March 2022.

“Airfreight capacity is at 90 per cent of pre-COVID levels thanks to the International Airfreight Capacity (IAFC) scheme, which has meant our exporters have been able to get their products to market and time-critical goods like medicine have been able to come into New Zealand.

“The scheme has also maintained a critical lifeline for our Pacific partners – there would have been no flights to Tonga, Samoa, the Cook Islands and Niue without it.”

The original IAFC was allocated $372M of the $600M aviation relief package to support airfreight continuity. The extension of the scheme to October 2021 is estimated to be worth an additional $170M.  

From April 2021 IAFC has a name change to Maintaining International Air Connectivity (MAIC), to more clearly reflect the focus on recovery and its broadened objectives.

  • retain air connectivity with New Zealand’s principal trading partners,
  • enable continued essential passenger movements,
  • retain important air connections to the Pacific,
  • retain air connections to key routes and hubs important for tourism recovery,
  • maintain core capability, capacity and competitiveness within the New Zealand aviation sector to provide a platform for an efficient and competitive market when international air travel recovers.

Since May 2020 the IAFC scheme has:

  • Enabled over 6000 flights
  • carried over 120,000 tonnes of air freight
  • worth $8 billion and
  • returned over 60,000 people to New Zealand
  • who made up around 60% of all MIQ stays. 

NZTE Focus customers may be eligible for a Supply Chain Review advisory service. Talk to your NZTE Customer Manager for more information.

In New Zealand, the Government declared a climate emergency and launched a major new initiative to combat climate change that will require the public sector to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025. In January this year, New Zealand’s Climate Change Commission released draft advice and recommendations on a pathway to reduce national emissions and meet our Paris Agreement goals. Read the executive summary (PDF). However, most of our greenhouse gases stem from agriculture, and these initiatives have been criticised by many as not going far enough. 

We list three resources to try today, no matter where you are in the world. And one special bonus resource for the fashion and apparel industry, courtesy of sustainable footwear and clothing brand Allbirds.

  1. Find easy ways your business can reduce carbon emissions with the Climate Action Toolbox. Launched in April by the Sustainable Business Network and supported by MBIE, BNZ, NZTE and other partners, this free, easy-to-use online tool lets businesses identify key areas where they can reduce emissions, and gives step-by-step guides and links to information to help. Businesses can save their climate action plan and return to it anytime.
  2. Reduce the impact your website has on carbon emissions. The internet consumes more electricity per year than the entire United Kingdom. Data centres, transmission networks, mobile devices all consume electricity, in turn producing carbon emissions. The average web page tested by the Website Carbon Calculator produces 1.76 grams of CO2 per page view. For a website with 10,000 monthly page views, that’s 211 kg CO2 per year. Test your homepage on the calculator and find out more about sustainable web design principles. 
  3. Generate the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) profile for your business. Agreed by 193 countries in 2015, the 17 United Nations SDGs are underpinned by 169 targets and 244 indicators. They are the world’s to-do list for the next 10 years and form the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. Achieving SDGs requires global coordination between governments, businesses, philanthropy and civil society. Generate your SDG profile by choosing topics and actions related to your organisation’s work.

And the bonus resource for those in the fashion and apparel industry:

  1. Calculate the carbon footprint of your fashion products using Allbirds’ suite of Carbon Footprint Tools. To celebrate Earth Day, Allbirds have made their Lifecycle Assessment Tool (LCA), the manual guiding its use and its Carbon Footprint Labels all open-source to help brands document their carbon footprint, and to help the public make better buying decisions for the planet.
