Does your work environment support your wellbeing?
We would like to invite YOU to be part of this project!
By sharing your experience in a confidential research interview, you can shape the future of mental health and wellbeing support. AND you’ll gain valuable insights into your own wellbeing.
It’s no news that we’re in the midst of a mental health crisis. While we call for more NHS funding and lower costs of living, over 1.2 million people in the UK are waiting for basic mental health care. There must be an alternative – and we’re here to create it.
What if our work environments could act as a preventative intervention? We spend ⅓ of our lives at work. Imagine the impact we could make if workplaces supported our wellbeing!
We’re designing a national standard for organisational wellbeing, and giving companies the tools to implement it. To make sure the new standard meets everyone’s needs, we’re conducting some research, and we’d like you to be part of it.
Interviews are 1hr and completely confidential. We are particularly keen to hear from seldom heard groups.
Who is this for?
- People from seldom-heard groups, or with marginalised identity characteristics, whose experience may not been given due attention in the workplace
- Individuals who have experienced difficulties in having personal needs met during important life changes (e.g. bereavement, menopause, fertility treatments, gender changes, caring responsibilities, illness, etc.)
- Individuals with lived experience of poor physical or mental health (past or present)
- Relatives, peers and friends of any of the above, who’ve struggled to get guidance and support for themselves or their loved ones.
Registrations will close in:

- 00Seconds
What you’ll get?
- A safe space to get your experiences and needs heard by professionals at Elite Mind Academy
- A better understanding of your own state of wellbeing and what can be done to improve it
- Your safety is our priority, and we can provide resources and guidance for additional support, if needed
- You'll have an opportunity to connect with peers and other individuals on a similar journey who are also taking part in this research
- Opportunity to shape the future of mental health and wellbeing services and to make working environments safer and happier places for all.
- Your journey is unique, and so is your participation in this project! You will be able to choose your level of participation and engagement at every stage, or leave at any time.
What we ask from you:
- Genuine interest in improving the future of health, wellbeing and the quality of working environments
- Willingness to share your experience with honesty and openness (all information will be treated with strict confidentiality)
- Respectful collaboration with our team regarding data collection, which might involve surveys, interviews, focus groups or ideation workshops
- Permission to use your anonymised data for our statistical analysis and for the design of future products and services
- Please note that the level of participation is entirely up to you, and you can choose how much or how little you want to engage at every stage of our research, varying from 15-minute surveys to half-day workshops, depending on your availability and interest.
Our research process:
Listening
At the start of the project we aim to hear from a diverse group of individuals about wellbeing and work. We aim to identify unmet needs and better understand the unique challenges people face in their work and personal lives. At this stage we invite you to share your story in the form of interviews and surveys.
Designing
Once we have identified the needs of different stakeholders, we will design guidelines and implementation frameworks for ensuring that those needs are met by organisations through their wellbeing strategy. At this stage we may ask you to contribute your ideas and feedback in the form of events, focus groups and ideation workshops.
Testing
Finally, we will pilot our new ecosystemic framework with select organisations to gain live feedback and continue making ongoing improvements. At this stage we may ask you to participate in a pilot or help us deliver and test the solution in real-life settings.
