Welcome to the New Normal Survey

What does it mean?

Strict lockdown appears to be easing for now but the new normal is not yet with us. For many people, the transition phase feels quite ambiguous and anxiety-provoking. We’d like to understand how you are feeling and we’ll anonymise and share the results in a short report. The better we understand the challenges you and your colleagues face the more we can think about the materials and resources people need moving forward to create a healthy and productive working environment.
