Toi Ohomai recognised at
Defence Force Awards
Toi Ohomai | Te Pūkenga has been recognised
for its commitment to kaimahi at the annual
Minister of Defence Force’s 2023 Tohu Awards.
Run by the Defence
Employer Support Council
(DESC), the annual awards
officially acknowledge how
employers of Reserve Force and
Cadet Force Officers are vital
to Defence Force effectiveness,
enabling attendance of training,
fulfilment of deployment opportunities
and supplementation to
Regular Force members.
The awards recognise that
employers also benefit in employing
and supporting members of
the Reserve and Cadet Force Officers,
as well as Limited Service
Volunteer Graduates, as the training
they received through the
NZDF helps develop and sharpen
their skills in leadership, teamwork,
communication, discipline,
planning and management.
Toi Ohomai |Te Pūkenga, was
named the Employer of the Year,
and was nominated by Major Eli
Crawshaw, an automotive tutor
and a Cadet Force Officer. In the
nomination, it stated that Eli’s
commendable service was made
possible through the institute’s
commitment to the New Zealand
Cadet Forces (NZCF). The judges
said the institution had consistently
provided support to Eli
and the Cadet Units in the Western
Bay of Plenty.
The recognition extends
beyond a mere acknowledgment
of employer support.
“Toi Ohomai | Te Pūkenga has
human resources policies that
prioritise service in the organisation
and recognise the value of
skills obtained through the NZCF
training program, regularly utilising
skills gained from NZCF in the
workplace,” judges said. “Leadership
and guidance provided
by line managers at Toi Ohomai
| Te Pūkenga have been instrumental
in helping MAJ Crawshaw
achieve success in his role as a
senior Cadet Force Officer.”

(staff), and says it was humbling
to accept the award on behalf of
the organisation.
“As Eli’s line manager, I was
able to accept this award. I’ve
seen first-hand Eli’s dedication
and commitment, not only to Toi
Ohomai but also in his role as
a Cadet Force Officer. It’s great
that we have been acknowledged
for our attentive and responsive
approach to the needs of our
kaimahi.”
Dan says all employers who
were nominated spoke about
people who have volunteer roles
outside of their main employment
and the exceptional value
they bring to their respective
organisations.
Encouraging volunteer work
and social contributions, Dan
says, leads to diligent, high-performing
employees in the
workplace.
“They bring these skills and
their values into our organisation,
which is hugely valuable.”
Toi Ohomai | Te Pūkenga’s
recognition as the New Zealand
Cadet Force Officer Employer of
the Year highlights the institution’s
commitment to fostering
positive relationships between
employers and members of the
Reserve and Cadet Force Officers,
contributing significantly
to the overall effectiveness of the
Defence Force.
