Hello Reckie's! Beth here - a Reckie alumni with a survey that has been compiled for Outdoor workers of many facets. The aim is to better understand challenges/... barriers faced by those working in the Outdoor Sector and what needs to be done to make the field more sustainable. In a nutshell - we want to improve wage transparency; create educational resources around labor standards, minimum wages and instructor safety; and help generate some next steps to make this industry more sustainable for everyone. It takes 10 minutes to complete (we wanted it to be as thorough as possible) and is anonymous - unless you want to get involved! Then reach out to the email provided in the survey. See more
