CIMSPA supports third workforce state of mind survey
The 2023 Workforce State of Mind Survey is now live and open to anyone working within the fitness and active leisure industry.
The survey, which can be accessed at workplacementalwealth.com, explores the mental wellbeing of individuals at all levels of the workforce and asks employers about their approaches to protecting and supporting the mental health of their teams.
CIMSPA is proud to be a Lead Supporter of the Workforce State of Mind Survey for the third year in a row. We believe that it is crucial for the industry to come together and shine a light on the mental wellbeing of those working within it.
The survey is an important tool for understanding the perspectives of employers and employees alike, and for identifying patterns and trends in mental health within the sector.
Lindsey Simpson, co-founder at Workplace Mental Wealth and curator of the State of Mind Survey, said: “A great deal has happened nationally and globally since we last surveyed the sector in early 2022, and this year it will be fascinating to see how positive and negative factors are affecting wellbeing.
“Our core questions enable us to identify year-on-year patterns, and our new questions help us understand the impact of recent events. So, for example, this year with the cost-of-living crisis impacting so many, we’re exploring financial wellbeing in more depth. We also include opportunities for those who want to add their own comments; helping us to gather greater insight into the stories behind the numbers.”
The survey is anonymous, quick and easy to complete, and the results will be shared via a free download from the Workplace Mental Wealth website mid-March.
It is open to anyone that does paid work in the sector, whether employed or freelance, and the authors hope to again see participation across all roles, from apprentices and the front line to the boardroom.
All employers are encouraged to take part as well, to help map the varied perspectives of operators, suppliers and membership bodies across the sector.
The 2023 State of Mind Survey is officially backed by CIMSPA, Active IQ, MyZone, Alliance Leisure and Les Mills.
The survey is open now and closes on 10 February 2023. Complete it at workplacementalwealth.com.
We encourage everyone in the industry to take part in the survey and have their say on the state of mental health within the fitness and active leisure industry. Together, we can make a difference.
