Wellbeing On Set What Surveys Tell Us

The creative sector has high expectations, including long hours, strict deadlines, and ongoing pressure. Our research reveals that a decrease in employee morale, and an increase in absenteeism, results in a decline in production quality. It poses a risk to the whole film industry, creating an unsustainable environment.

There are effective steps to uphold crew well-being while maintaining productivity:

Plan Wisely

Give up on unreasonable timelines. Allocate resources towards pre-production. Preparedness leads to reduced anxiety, increased concentration, and enhanced creativity.

Rest Matters

Make breaks mandatory. Exhausted crews make mistakes. Well-rested crews are more effective.

Talk It Out

Clear and honest communication is essential. Promote open dialogue about stress and workload. Being heard directly influences one's wellbeing.

While implementing these steps, assessment is crucial. How can you monitor your progress? You need targeted data on each production. Here's where we get involved.

We provide customised, anonymous production surveys. This information highlights areas for celebration and improvement based on collected data. It can also answer the crucial questions: Do breaks help my people feel less stressed? Does eating well make my crew feel better? Data gives you the ability to improve your strategy and give talent welfare first priority.
