Seeking managers for research interviews on workplace wellbeing decisions

The UEA workplace wellbeing team calls for UK managers of any level, any sector, to take part in new research about decision-making on workplace wellbeing activities.

As a thank you to each participant, a donation will be made to The Feed (thefeed.org.uk) on their behalf. 

Contributing to research like this ultimately helps to feed through to more resources and findings freely available to all managers on www.evolveworkplacewellbeing.org 

The UEA workplace wellbeing research team has done landmark research on how to improve wellbeing at work. We make sure high quality academic findings can be used in practice by UK managers. The online toolkit www.evolveworkplacewellbeing.org is totally free and full of practical ways to learn about and implement evidence-based approaches to improving wellbeing. 

Our team is making a new call for interviewees. In this project, we want to explore how managers make decisions about what is thought to be an appropriate level of wellbeing support to provide to employees (or volunteers where relevant). If you are a manager in a UK organisation (public, private, third sector all welcome) sign up to speak with us today! 

Our early work on this can be found summarised on the PrOPEL Hub, but we now want to take this work further: Where does responsibility for workplace wellbeing lie? (propelhub.org)

The interview will take place via phone or video call at a mutually convenient time. Participation is completely voluntary and will take between 45 minutes and 1 hour. You will never be identified to anyone else as the source of your answers. All quotes will be anonymous. The full information sheet and consent form will be sent to you via email, before you commit to speak with us. 

In honour of each participant’s involvement, we will send a thank you of at least £20 of shopping vouchers per interviewee to The Feed – an organisation whose mission is “Through the power of food, to empower communities in Norwich, ensuring each and every person has the support to eat well, live well, and feel connected.” 

The findings of the research will be published on www.propelhub.org and www.evolveworkplacewellbeing.org in 2024 and in future academic papers.

Please email me (H.Fitzhugh@uea.ac.uk) your name, role and organisation to express interest and I’ll send over the full information sheet and arrange a mutually convenient time with you to speak.
