Attitude of gratitude: focusing on staff health and wellbeing during Covid-19

Abstract

One of State Library of Queensland’s health responses to COVID-19 was to form a staff Health & Wellbeing Team. The development of the Team was informed by data from two staff surveys circulated during the COVID-19 pandemic which indicated that some staff were feeling disconnected and disengaged from the workplace. The team was formed with the aim of devising ideas and initiatives to look after staff wellbeing at a time when feelings of vulnerability were high and the effects of up to six months working from home were starting to take their toll.
