A former employee came forward saying the group is 'truly a disturbing place to work'.

Current and former staff members of GirlGuiding New Zealand (GGNZ) are accusing the group of mismanagement and having a toxic work culture. However, CEO Susan Coleman says these allegations “create false impressions and undermine our hardworking team”.

According to initial reports from Stuff NZ, GGNZ saw deficits amounting to almost NZ$11m from 2016 to December 2021. The emergence of COVID-19 further hampered the charity, with membership decreasing 5% in 2020.

GGNZ started in 1910 as the Girl Peace Scouts, further gaining popularity during World War II. However, the paid membership model led to a decline in membership in the 1980s, Stuff reported.
