Recovery from daily work stress study

About this research

We're exploring how employees, particularly hybrid workers, manage their energy, effort and recovery across workdays and different work locations.

Who can participate

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • are over 18 years
  • are residing in any Australian time zone
  • are employed (full-time or part-time)
  • are working at least 28 hours per week, with most hours across day time business hours (9am–5pm, Monday–Friday)
  • have internet access at home and work.

What's involved

You'll complete daily, online 5-minute surveys before work, after work and before bed.

For teams or organisations, our research team can also offer a lunchbox session (or similar) following participation.

Benefits of participating

All participants will receive personalised feedback and evidence-based tips to help you reflect on your energy, recovery, and patterns of hybrid work.

Participants are also entered into a prize draw for one of 3 x $200 gift cards.
