Wellbeing Survey - I need your help

[GREED]

A plea to everyone using this site: This year I have been leading a new initiative to help better understand and support mental wellbeing in the workplace, through story-telling and experience sharing. My own personal struggles with depression both at work and outside are well documented.

 

This month, I have been working with a good friend of mine, who is also a well known and respected wellbeing coach and consultant, on a national wellbeing survey to understand how everyone is feeling right now, and how supported people feel by their employers. Together we'll analyse and freely publish the results and outcomes, supported by her insight and advice.

 

I need your help to get as many more responses as possible before the end of the month - the more responses the more useful the aggregated data.

I stress - this is TOTALLY anonymous - it does not ask for your name, contact details, location (other than county for analysis purposes), and does not ask for your employer name or connect you in any way. Everything will be aggregated too.

 

Please take part, it takes 3 minutes to complete. If you would like to be informed of the results too, please comment below (the results will be published freely and openly on the project website too).

 

Thank you.

It's interesting you bring this up at this moment in time, maybe I should hit that post button on a post I wrote about welfare...

Tell me more... The Wellbeing at Work project on the whole helps people via story-telling, we have guest writers posting their own experiences to share with others, anonymously if you/they want. If you want to share or something in between then let me know. [emoji3526]

It was more of an expectation thing, I'm not sure what support structures are in place at other schools. As far as I can tell it's the same everywhere. I did the original post 2 years ago and it was a follow up due to some recent news.

Done. Nice use of Google Forms.

I'm currently working at a local charity that supports young people with a host of support activities, including mental health. It will be interesting to see your results and compare the results with that of young people. We are expecting a surge in demand over the coming months, with a number of support needs for children returning to school. One thing we have seen, is for some, lock down has helped reduce anxiety, not something we were necessarily expecting. In hindsight, we can see those with anxiety issues going to school, have actually been more settled and progressed well during lock down - in some cases more family time has helped. The very same people are going to need support returning to a very different school environment.Of course, for others more home time has removed the security that schools give and more time at home with family hasn't not always been good.

That's very interesting. Often it takes something this to make us stop and rethink our perceptions of what 'we all know'; as we think about it yes lockdown will be helpful to those who struggle at school, perhaps are bullied and so this has been a great break. Others more obviously need the structure (my own daughter included!), and others too prefer school over homelife for whatever reason. A real mix, but I think those that have thrived at home are the forgotten ones in all of this, which is very sad.

 

It will be interesting to see too the differences in what lockdown 'issues' have been brought on between young people and adults, the former less likely to be worried about money, jobs, etc, but likely more anxious about seeing friends and family with less worldly knowledge that this will eventually get better (well - hopefully!).

 

Happy to share the results, perhaps there is something additional we can do collaboratively.

Thank you so much guys for all the responses, had a huge influx of responses in just a couple of days. Please keep it up, if you are able to share with colleagues friends or family as well that would be great - ideally as many responses from as many walks of life would be brilliant.

 

Much appreciated.

The survey has now closed, and I spend most of yesterday analysing the results and sticking them into PowerBI. Melts your brain a bit does PowerBI when working long hours on it (even though I love the platform!), so i have not even appreciated the outcomes yet. This will be published in the next few days along with expert analysis and outcomes from my friend and resident wellbeing consultant (who also advised on the survey questions). Will let you all know when and where.

 

Thanks again for the responses.
