NZIM OVERVIEW
The New Zealand Institute of Management is a not-for-profit organisation and has been established for 60 years.
Its reason for being is to build outstanding managers and leaders.
We are one of New Zealand’s largest professional bodies with membership of around 4,000 individual members and 1,500 corporate members, with total coverage of around 15,000 practising managers participating in NZIM activities.
NZIM operates nationwide through five regional offices and provides a wide range of membership services, learning programmes, and professional qualifications.
The Institute’s member benefits have continued to increase over the past few years, and NZIM is constantly striving to add real value for membership.
NZIM’s learning programmes have continued to keep pace with the fast changing needs of today’s managers and organisations. They are practically based and many are linked to the New Zealand National Qualifications Framework. These programmes are very suitable for today’s managers who often prefer to attend shorter professional development courses than take extended periods of time out of their busy work schedules.
NZIM also carries out research into management and leadership practice in New Zealand and the rest of the World and publishes the results widely in its annual Management Capability Index.
Code of Ethics
The New Zealand Institute of Management Inc. recognises that the well being of New Zealand society is dependant on the economic success of its private and public organisations and acceptance of community and environmental responsibilities.
This can only be achieved through the high standards of performance, integrity and ethical and moral behaviour of management within such organisations.
NZIM membership is therefore dependent on the acceptance by each member of a code of ethics that requires these high standards to be met.
