The Comission has rolled out a pilot programme, in which employees who choose to participate, take part in a 10-week financial literacy course - covering topics such as Kiwisaver, home ownership, wills, and the household budget, the course is held after work hours, but paid for by the employer. The course has been run at The Warehouse's distribution centre in Wiri, and now at its Wainuiomata store.
