38% of high-mental-load workers, like community and safety leads, say work demands directly harm their mental health*

35% of NZ workers face offensive behaviour, with violence (11%) and threats (14%) creating critical stress in public facility roles*

14.3% of NZ adults faced high psychological distress in 2024/25, a rate that has doubled since 2020 and hits young recreation workers hardest*

How Wisdom Wellbeing can help

The New Zealand recreation sector is the heartbeat of local communities, but the "wellbeing of the well-doers" is under significant threat. Recent data shows that 77% of Kiwi workers are struggling with mental health symptoms, compounded by an environment where 35% have witnessed or experienced offensive behavior on the job.

At Wisdom Wellbeing, we recognise that lifeguards, gym instructors, and facility managers face a unique "vigilance fatigue."That’s why we offer 24/7, 365-days a year support online and over the phone for individuals that need mental health support.

After all, recreation workers and athletes need to maintain a positive attitude in their customer-facing roles. If you’ve observed high sickness rates and poor staff retention, then our leading EAP may be a solution.
