COVID-19 and work in Tasmania: How the pandemic has affected workforce experiences and goals

The Tasmania Project Work Survey explored the experience of work and looking for work in Tasmania, and the impact of COVID-19 on those experiences. This report focuses on the COVID-19 impacts.

Employed respondents were asked 'How has COVID-19 affected your employment and experience of work?' The themes that emerged were: working from home and workplace flexibility, increased workload and stress, minimal or no impacts, accommodation of COVID-19 measures, loss of work, anxiety and uncertainty, job or role change, online working, loss of connection, and positive impacts such as being more creative and connected.
