The Workplace Wellbeing Survey 2024, conducted by EMA and nib, gathered insights from over 1,200 New Zealanders, spanning from senior management to frontline staff, to gauge the current state of workplace wellbeing across the country.
The survey revealed significant challenges. The economic downturn and the cost-of-living crisis have deeply affected employees, leading to increased concerns about job security, financial stability, and overall uncertainty about the future. These stressors have impacted mental health and productivity, driving employees to seek more stability and value the wellbeing initiatives offered by their employers.
The results underscore the critical need for businesses to maintain and enhance their focus on employee wellbeing. This includes continuing to build positive, supportive workplace cultures that can help mitigate the broader economic pressures impacting workers today. For business leaders, the survey provides essential insights and tools to support the creation of strong, productive teams in this challenging environment.
