As academics, researchers, practitioners, staff of organisations or community workers we understand that we are working in highly pressured environments. Resources may be scarce but expectations to deliver on outcomes are growing. For example, new research assessment tools, such as the Research Excellence Framework, require our research to have far reaching impact. Similarly, community organisations are asked to evidence outcomes and impact that their work is creating social benefit. Piling pressures are leading to burn-out, low levels of well-being and a sense of stagnation.
