What is the study about?
Researchers in the Horizon Digital Economy research institute at the University of Nottingham are exploring the relationship between workplace wellbeing and the internet. We are running focus
groups to understand people’s workplace experiences of how the balance between their online and offline activity affects their wellbeing. We are also interested in the steps people take to support their own wellbeing, and the support currently available to them. Our findings will inform recommendations and interventions designed to improve wellbeing in the workplace.

Who can attend?
We are interested in recruiting people aged 18 or over who work in any sector as long as their job role requires some online work.

Time and compensation
Focus groups will last 90 minutes. Each participant will be offered a £25 Amazon voucher as a thank you for their contribution. Participants must attend and participate for a minimum of 75 minutes to receive the voucher.
