As the arts sector emerges from lockdown, psychologist, broadcaster and performing artist Greta Bradman has urged arts leaders to ensure they prioritise the wellbeing of their staff above all other concerns as we return to business as usual.
‘Irrespective of the pressures that we feel to reopen for the sake of the sector, we have to put our people first,’ she said. ‘And frankly, we have to get better at putting our people first, and cultivating a culture that really is “our people first”. Other things, the show and so forth, sit behind that, because otherwise we won’t have a sector.’
