YOUR WELLNESS SURVEY

How are you doing today?

We’ve taken your answers and calculated some scores. We’re looking at three dimensions: mental wellbeing, physical wellbeing, and your wellbeing at work.

Don’t forget these scores will change over time and this is just a snapshot. Come back as often as you want to take your ‘wellbeing temperature’.

How do you compare?

To compile benchmarks we have used data from a number of published surveys which we are grateful have been made public.

We will also use our own industry benchmarks when we have sufficient results from this survey.

The Average 66%
Your workplace wellbeing 70%
The Average 73%

Wellbeing in the Workplace

Wellbeing and mental health are more complicated than simple scores.

In a MIND survey people were asked to rate their experience with poor mental health and their current mental health, happiness, and anxiety.

And as above, these numbers are pre-COVID.

Experienced poor mental health 71%
Experienced poor mental health at their current employer 52%
Generally happy at work 61%
Generally unhappy at work 22%
Rarely experiencing anxiety 33%
Anxious on multiple occasions 52%

Tools and Resources

The benchmarks above are all from pre-COVID times so don’t read too much into them – and if you are struggling there are sources of support in addition to your doctor.

Feeling anxious is a natural reaction to stressful events and there are things you can do yourself to help manage your mental wellbeing.

Stay Connected

Loneliness is associated with poor mental wellbeing. Think about new ways to stay in touch with friends, family or colleagues past and present. Look out for online events being set up for freelancers, such as TV Mindset, or by regional bodies.

Volunteer. Helping others can boost your mental wellbeing as well as others. Look at buddy initiative TV Mindset/Share My Telly and the WFTV mentoring scheme.

Having some sort of regular structure to your day is good for mental wellbeing – but don’t beat yourself up if you don’t stick to it rigidly every day. Getting up and going to bed at the same time can help with sleep problems too. Jugglig things like work adn chilcare are stressful as is being cooped up with your household. Give yourself a break. Exercise, fresh air, and natural light all help too.

There is a lot of misinformation out there, especially on social media. Think about your use of social media, and whether or not it makes you feel better. Even the mainstream media love a good headline that pulls people in and reporting standards regarding COVID have been patchy.

Industry groups like BAFTA, the BFI, BECTU, PACT, Time’s Up, ScreenSkills and the UK Screen Alliance offer a wide range of resources and information for all sections of the workforce.

Breathing techniques and mindfulness apps can help.  Try a ‘grounding technique’ to connect you to the present and focus on the sensations you’re feeling right now.

Familiarise yourself with the symptoms of a panic attack. Panic attacks can be very frightening, especially if you’ve never had one before. You might think you’re having a heart attack or that something else is happening in your body that needs urgent physical treatment. Remind yourself that it could be a panic attack and that these feelings will pass.
