Wellbeing Research Centre, University of Oxford

Dr. William Fleming is Research Fellow at the the University of Oxford Wellbeing Research Centre. Dr. Fleming’s research explores how work is better or worse for us, and how it might be improved, especially focusing on workplace interventions, what works, what doesn’t work, and why. William’s research on this topic has been featured in the New York Times, Financial Times, Forbes, New Scientist, and, in Australia, The Australian Financial Review, The Age, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and more. Before taking up his current post, he completed a PhD in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge, conducting a sociological evaluation of workplace wellbeing practices and narratives. He also shortly held a role as a postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Cambridge Department of Psychiatry, and is a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics Department of Management. His research on workplace wellbeing interventions has gone viral on social media and is driving a change in how we take seriously organisational wellbeing.
