Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This study examined how staff experiences a relocation from a regular to an innovative living arrangement and what procedures are followed.Semi-structured interviews and observations were conducted.Staff (N ¼ 41) were included if they worked at the selected locations (N ¼ 3).Staff reported feeling lost physically and emotionally.They stressed the importance of constructive communication and collaboration and having a say in the physical environment.Staff acknowledged the opportunities of the new environment, but also experienced several challenges when relocating and working in an innovative environment.This study showed that relocating is a stressful undertaking for staff.The help they needed in adjusting to a new environment, and to a new way of working, was underestimated.
