Our follow-up survey on work-related wellbeing in architecture is now closed
Thank you for telling us about your experiences of work-related wellbeing in architecture.
Our follow-up survey on work-related wellbeing in architecture is now closed, and we have started the process of analysing the results and preparing a report on the findings. This data will build on our first survey and focus groups to contribute to the development of resources, toolkits, and practical advice – to help architectural practices, institutions, and organisations to better support their people and create positive work-place cultures.
This is the final major piece of primary research in the Wellbeing of Architects project, and we thank you for taking part, sharing your experiences, and giving us your thoughts!
