That is why the EMA and nib Insurance have teamed up to survey more than 1,200 Kiwis – from senior management to frontline staff – to take the pulse of New Zealand’s workplaces big and small.

The good news is that most employees (75%) are satisfied at work and almost two thirds (61%) believe their workplace proactively manages their wellbeing, up from 53% two years ago.

But a lot has changed since we last did the survey in 2022, when we were in the midst of the post-COVID economic rebound. Today, the deteriorating economic environment, and a cost-of-living crisis, is having a profound impact on employees – affecting both their mental health and their productivity.

They are worried about their jobs, financial security, and are uncertain about the future. This is having flow-on effects on health and wellbeing. As a result, they are seeking stability at work and are increasingly appreciative of the initiatives that employers are taking to support them.

But what do these results mean for you and your business? Click here to view our break down of the results, providing you with the insights you need, as well as providing you with the right tools to support you to continue building a great team with a strong, positive and productive culture.

Looking after your employees’ wellbeing

nib Business Health Insurance supports employees to perform at their best. Hear from Harry Plummer, Karl Tu’inukuafe and Tom Robinson from the Blues as they share their experiences with how nib Business Health Insurance through New Zealand Rugby Players Association gave them peace of mind that they’d get the nib covered treatment they needed, quickly, so they could get back to playing the sport they love.

Look out for the ‘In Your Corner’ series across nib New Zealand channels, and read more about the Blues’ stories.

Emily Cleland, Managing Director at HD Geo, a small engineering consultancy in Hamilton, chose a nib group policy to take the burden of health concerns “out of the picture” for her employees. 

Thanks to nib’s group cover for pre-existing conditions, Principal Environmental Consultant Terre Nicholson, was able to access immediate treatment when her cancer returned.
