Are you a manager or supervisor working in a company with less than 250 employees? Then GCU would like to hear from you!

Around 43% of people in the UK have chronic pain (pain lasting greater than 3 months) which can result in absenteeism and employment issues.

Researchers lack the perspective of employers working for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – companies with less than 250 employees.

This is problematic given SMEs constitute 99.8% of all UK businesses.

Glasgow Caledonian University is conducting interviews with SME employers to understand their needs in relation to keeping employees with chronic pain at work.

Your contribution will aid GCU in helping support people with chronic pain to remain in employment.

What will I have to do?

Participation involves answering a brief questionnaire and a 1-hour online interview.
