Friday, March 8, 2024

“Chefs, chefs, chefs!

Key Points: 
  • “Chefs, chefs, chefs!
  • Australia is seeing a similar gap, with chefs ranked the eighth most in-demand occupation.
  • Our study is the first quantitative survey to examine working conditions and mental health issues among chefs in both Australia and New Zealand.
  • The survey also followed up previous Australian studies, which indicated exploitation was an industry norm, with chefs experiencing burnout and wage theft.

‘Banter, bollockings and beatings’

  • As one British study titled “Banter, bollockings and beatings” made clear, an often macho culture can prevail, including bizarre induction rituals.
  • An Australian study published in 2022 showed chefs were significantly more likely than the general population to commit suicide.
  • And even before the pandemic, the industry’s “toxic” workplace culture was blamed for mental health issues and high suicide rates among employees.
  • Two-thirds (67%) of respondents worked more than 38 hours weekly, but a fifth of the chefs worked 52-61 hours.

Leaving the industry

  • Results showed high levels of physical and mental fatigue (“exhausted at work”, “emotionally drained”, “becoming disconnected”).
  • The majority of respondents said they were likely (with 20% extremely likely) to look for a new employer during the next year.

Mental health and healthy hospo

  • The Better Work Action Plan, the first phase of New Zealand’s Tourism Industry Transformation Plan, was launched by MBIE in 2023 under the previous government.
  • It followed extensive consultation with representatives from hospitality and tourism, Māori, unions, workers and government.
  • Its aim was to develop a sustainable tourism workforce by addressing longstanding issues of low pay and poor conditions across the sector.
  • By chance, however, New Zealand’s new minister for mental health, Matt Doocey, is also tourism and hospitality minister.
