Cultural leaders feel ‘under siege and overwhelmed’, research finds

More than a dozen organisations, including the Museums Association, have backed a rallying cry for change in the sector after research showed the cultural workforce is under increasing pressure.






More than a dozen organisations, including the Museums Association, have backed a rallying cry for change in the sector after research showed the cultural workforce is under increasing pressure.

Research by Clore Leadership, the support organisation for cultural leaders, found that 87% of cultural leaders felt demands on them had become worse, and many are feeling "increasingly stretched, under siege and overwhelmed".

The World of Work research was based on a series of face-to-face discussions with cultural leaders, as well as an online survey.

It identified multifaceted challenges facing the sector driven by external pressures including the legacy of Covid, financial constraints, new technology and changing workforce dynamics.
