Subject: UArizona COVID-19 Survey: Frontline Worker Wellbeing Study
Date: Oct 27, 2020

This study is focused on the University of Arizona's frontline employees who are working on-site at campus facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pandemic places these individuals in potentially high-risk environments where they may be interacting with students, visitors and colleagues to provide essential services including teaching, maintenance and other support services. We want to learn more about what these workers are experiencing during the pandemic, including: any impacts on their personal, professional and financial wellbeing; their perceptions of safety and health in their workspaces; and what resources have been helpful or accessed by them.

We are recruiting University of Arizona Employees who:

  • Currently work ANY part of their job on-site at a campus or facility;

         AND

  • Who are in close personal contact with students, visitors or colleagues on a routine basis while at work.

Take the survey here: Campus Frontline Worker Wellbeing Survey

Study participants are eligible to win a $50 Target gift card and have the option to participate in follow-up surveys as reopening progresses and COVID-19 continues. Findings will be reported out to further inform University reopening efforts, as well as continue to protect and support our valuable workers through these unprecedented times.
