The local charity said that experiences at work can make a real difference to people’s health and wellbeing, either positively or negatively.
The Workplace Wellbeing Survey aims to build a clearer picture of people’s experiences across the Bailiwick, from what helps them feel supported and motivated at work to the challenges they may face, including pressure, workload and work-life balance.
Guernsey Mind wants to understand what helps people stay well at work, what can prevent them from getting support earlier, and what could make that support easier to access.
‘Work is a big part of many people’s lives and it can have a real impact on how we feel, both positively and negatively. We want to hear honestly about what working life is like for people across the Bailiwick,’ said Chris Chamberlain, operations manager at Guernsey Mind.
‘What is working well? What makes life at work more difficult? And what could help people get the right support earlier?
‘This isn’t just about people who are struggling.
‘We want to hear from everyone, whatever their experience of work, so that we can build a much clearer picture of what helps people stay well and what could be better.’
The charity said that the survey’s findings would help it to shape better, earlier and more accessible support around local needs. High-level findings will also be shared with organisations to help employers better understand what can support people to stay well and engaged at work.
The survey is completely anonymous and does not ask participants for their name or contact details. It takes around six to 10 minutes to complete and participants can skip any question they would rather not answer.
Guernsey Mind is encouraging people from different occupations, sectors and working environments across the Bailiwick to take part.
‘The more experiences we hear about, the more useful the picture will be,’ Mr Chamberlain said. ‘Whether you love your job, find some aspects of working life challenging, or sit somewhere in between, your experience matters. We hope people will take a few minutes to tell us how things really are.’
n The Working Life in the Bailiwick survey can be completed at www.guernseymind.org.gg/workplace-support/workplace-survey and will remain open until Friday 27 November.
