Conclusion and next steps
The length of time a person has worked in a role, agency, Public Service, and wider Public Sector was generally longer for those who reported one or more functional limitations in Te Taunaki than other public servants. [1] This mirrors another finding from the 2018 Stats NZ report, as well as from more recent labour market statistics , that disabled people tended to have longer job tenure than non-disabled.

[1] For the Public Service tenure question in Te Taunaki, people were asked about New Zealand Public Service departments or departmental agencies, including any legacy agency (e.g. the Department of Labour is a legacy agency of MBIE) that had employed them. For the Public Sector tenure question, they were asked about any other central or local government agencies – for example Crown entities, Crown owned companies, schools or tertiary education institutions that had employed them.
