#3 John Moriarty - How workplaces shape social identity and influence mental health.

In today's episode with John Moriarty, we talk about how workplaces shape social identity and influence mental health.

Key points from this discussion:

The concept of a job role coming from theatre and an actor's role.
How Covid has been an accelerant rather than a game changer.
And the opportunity for businesses to offer work that fulfils rather than a means to pay bills.

John Moriarty is a sociology lecturer and researcher at Queen's University Belfast, based at the Centre for Evidence and Social Innovation. The focus of his research is on workplaces and how the world of work shapes social identity and influences workers' mental health.

His most recent writings deal with perceptions of retirement, organisational strategies to protect mental health and the impact of COVID-19 on those at the frontline of health and social service delivery.

John is currently working on a project funded by the Wellcome Trust to develop online mental health literacy training with the AWARE charity and with Northern Ireland-based businesses.
