Health, Safety and Well-Being Survey - Win $50!

Chamika Piyushani Wickramaarachchi is a PhD candidate in Occupational Health and Safety at Massey University's College of Health. As part of our research group, we are investigating injuries, illnesses, and well-being concerns among hospitality workers in New Zealand.

According to WorkSafe NZ findings, hospitality workers face significant challenges, including pay inequality, inadequate workplace policies and practices, poor working conditions, and instances of bullying or discrimination. Despite these pressing issues, research in this area remains limited. This study presents an important opportunity to amplify workers’ voices and contribute to the broader understanding of workplace health and safety in the New Zealand hospitality industry.

Given your commitment to protecting the rights of hospitality workers, we believe that your union is an ideal partner in recruiting participants for this study. Our research requires 400 hospitality workers to complete an online survey, which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. As an incentive, participants will have the opportunity to enter a draw to win one of 50 vouchers, each valued at $50 (totaling $2,500).

As the lead researcher, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss this project further and explore opportunities for collaboration, including awareness programs for union members. Your insights on potential recruitment strategies would be invaluable to ensuring the success of this study.

I have attached the research advertisement along with the survey link.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your thoughts on how we can work together to improve conditions for hospitality workers in New Zealand.
