this is one the Commission’s biggest initiatives to date, which aims to reduce the number of recent migrants who experience discrimination. The initiative will also develop and distribute resources to inform and assist employer attitudes towards diversity to enable migrants to have better employment opportunities. The Commission made a submission to the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples study on the right to health for indigenous peoples. This study aims to highlight the issues around health inequalities for Mäori. It makes recommendations on how the right to health is delivered, when considered in relation to the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of health services. The Commission successfully completed the third update of the Tracking Equality at Work tool which went “live” on 30 June 2016, with data from the 2015 year. The data showed similar trends to previous years, with the indicators around unemployment for young Mäori and Pacific women being particularly high. Two new indicators were added this year, “Median Hourly Wage by Educational Qualification” and “Global Women in Senior Management”. Both indicators provided interesting new information about inequality at work. For example, the Median Hourly Wage indicator shows a Pacific Woman with a post-graduate qualification will earn $30.81 per hour, while a European man with a post-graduate qualification will earn $41.30 per hour. The Global Women in Senior Management indicator shows New Zealand is in the bottom 10 of the 26 countries surveyed, with 19 percent of senior managers being women. The Commission’s earthquake recovery policy and advocacy work revealed there were problems with the classification and prioritisation of vulnerable customer claims. Specifically, there was variation across state and private insurers in terms of how vulnerable customers were defined and prioritised, which resulted in vulnerable claims often progressing at the same rate, or more slowly, than non-vulnerable customer claims. In 2015, the Commission surveyed private and state insurers to better understand the claims context. The purpose of this work was to ensure vulnerable claimants were not discriminated against in the claims resolution process. As a result of the survey findings, the Commission, in discussion with the Insurance Council of New Zealand and with input from the New Zealand Red Cross and the Canterbury District Health Board, developed a set of Vulnerability Guidelines for use by private insurers and brokers. The Guidelines have the potential to improve outcomes for vulnerable customers across all claims contexts and in the broader social services sector. The Commission released its Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs) gender equality strategy tool in June. This tool, funded by the Commission, provides simple strategies for businesses to implement to allow for gender equality to take place. 26 Human Rights Commission
