Well-Being for ECRs
The ECR Well-Being team works on a range of activities aiming to contribute to the ECRs in psychology’s well-being.
Individual coaching program
Are you struggling to balance work and personal life, feeling overwhelmed or lacking self-confidence? We have implemented an individual coaching program to support you in developing effective self-management strategies and improve your well-being through individual coaching sessions.
The coaching program invitations are usually sent out via email in spring, and sign-ups follow the first-come-first-serve approach. We cover one coaching session for free. Usually, we have a second call in fall. Sessions are held by Markus Böckle, an experienced coach, supervisor, and psychotherapist, in either English or German.
ECR Well-Being Survey
We deeply care about the health and well-being of ECRs at our Faculty. Thus, we have implemented a yearly Well-Being Survey to actually collect data and monitor progress on how ECRs at the Faculty are doing. The survey includes questions on mental health and well-being, job satisfaction and work-life balance, supervisor relationship, financial pressures, and perceived discrimination at the workplace. The results are summarised in a report, and also presented to the Faculty in order to initiate improvement.

Regular Stammtische
Around 3 times a year, we organise an ECR Stammtisch. It is open to everyone, and we aim to provide a room for networking, chatting and catching up with fellow ECRs from the Faculty. Watch out for the invitation in your email inbox and join us for a nice evening together!
ECR Writing Retreat
In 2024, we organised the first 3-day ECR Writing Retreat at the Weinviertel. We created a setting that allowed ECRs to fully concentrate on writing without the usual distractions of the daily office-life, and to share this intensive writing process with fellow ECRs (plus some fun joint activities). If you are interested in being part of the organising team of the next Writing Retreat, drop us an email at: ecr.psychology@univie.ac.at
