Baseline surveys:

  • December 2021 and February 2022: Phase one of our user-driven project design involved looking beyond the immediate research team to gain in a baseline understanding of people’s working behaviours, and their perceptions of working online during the COVID-19 pandemic, via an online survey. This survey, which was circulated to our project partners and their networks and was publicised via social media platforms, received 371 responses. Results from this survey can be seen below.
