Working on Wellbeing: A Wellbeing Toolkit for Emerging Museum Professionals

Abstract

Museum work can be rewarding, but also challenging. We know this from research, and likely personal experience too. This was the case before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the situation has certainly not improved since. For emergent professionals in the museum field, the usual stress that comes with starting a career is amplified by a problematic work environment. ​This toolkit is designed for emerging museum professionals (EMPs). ​This toolkit aims to share information and resources that will help emerging museum professionals to focus on and maintain positive wellbeing in their work.
