Wellington Water's boss is defending spending ratepayer money on skincare for staff and mindfulness workshops.
The under-fire agency has confirmed it spent more than $10,000 on wellbeing workshops in the recent financial year - including nutritionists and skin checks.
Chief Executive Pat Dougherty says it's important to be a caring employer.
"Good staff are hard to find - you'll want to attract them and keep them."
