A working group of CIfA's Advisory Council was set up to look at resources and opportunities for workplace wellbeing. The working group surveyed our Registered Organisations and talked to colleagues to find out what practices were currently in place - see the results below.
As a result we have formulated this list of useful links for companies and staff to support workplace wellbeing.
This list is not exhaustive so if you are aware of other links we might use or have good practice case studies from your organisation you would be happy to share, please get in touch at admin@archaeologists.net.
