Air New Zealand has announced changes that will see all staff able to ''proudly'' display their non-offensive tattoos at work - reversing a controversial long-standing policy. From September 1 all new and existing Air New Zealand staff will be able to have Tā Moko and/or non-offensive tattoos visible when wearing their uniform or normal business dress. The changes follow five months' research with Air New Zealand customers and employees - and several high-profile cases of applicants missing out on roles because of visible tattoos. Luxon said it was important that this change applied equally to all Air New Zealand staff. The Green Party has commended Air New Zealand for updating a hiring policy that it called discriminatory.
