40189 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Economic Growth

40189 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Economic Growth: What consultations are the Minister’s departments, agencies, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, planning to open on the week beginning Monday 18 August 2025 with employees around any changes to employment roles, employment numbers and any other employment conditions, and what is the proposed net change in roles?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am advised that the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has one consultation process underway to prepare for the integration of Callaghan Innovations functions being transferred to the Ministry. The change will be FTE neutral (2 positions disestablished and 2 created). I am also advised that New Zealand Growth Capital Partnerships has one consultation process underway that includes a proposed change which may result in the reduction of a single role. Given the size of their organisation, and in order to maintain confidentiality for the individuals concerned, I am unable to provide further detail at this time.
