Working@home is a UKRI/ESRC funded project examining the impact of home working in the UK as a response to the COVID- 19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented shift towards full-time home-based work across all socio-economic groups.
The working@home project explores the dynamics of this enforced, intensive home-based work and interrelated issues, including organisational support, caring responsibilities, domestic relationships and psychological wellbeing.
The project is, thus, key to understanding the management of work and productivity in crisis, providing a benchmark for the resilience of both individuals and businesses.
Get involved and stay up to date with the findings through our webinars, interim reports, and blog posts.
