					Three is the magic number; introducing our charity challenge 2025!
				</title>
				<description>
					
	

	 

	What's better than trekking up one big hill? Why scaling three of them back-to-back of course! Just a little peak into our Social Committee's planning meeting where they came up with the idea for our 2025 charity challenge...!

	 

	
		This time last year we were were gearing up for our hugely successful and enjoyable (what torrential rain?!) Edale Challenge adventure and next month, Partners from across DJS Research will be lacing up their walking boots once again – this time taking to the Cheshire hills - all to raise money for our fantastic company charity, Blythe House Hospice.

					Thoughts from the new kids on the Operational Board block
				</title>
				<description>
					
	

	 

	Earlier this year we saw the appointment of three new members to our Operational Board on a rotational basis. This move was the first move of its kind for DJS Research and it's already proven to be an excellent one on both a strategic and operational front. 

	 

	Simon Driver, Gill Redfern and Charlotte Sykes have over three decades of experience at DJS Research between them - and even more within the research industry as a whole! United by their passion for our organisation, each brings a very different set of qualities and skills to the boardroom table.

	 

	Eight months on we've asked them how they're getting on wearing their new board hats and it's clear they've rolled their sleeves up and got stuck straight in...

	 

	

	 

	Simon Driver: "After 7 years in a director role at DJS Research, I was delighted to expand my role further earlier this year with an appointment to the DJS Research Operational Board.  My main focus in the past 12 months has been working with colleagues in the Smart Growth pillar, helping to improve commercial understanding across the business and ensuring that we work together to maximise profits for the benefit of Partners. This includes Key Account Management, proactive business winning, and supporting teams to develop their business plans for the next financial year.  We are all working hard, alongside the different pillars and EO Voice, to make sure that DJS continues to be a great place to work."

					Reassuring young people about the bright, squiggly, paths ahead of them
				</title>
				<description>
					
	Earlier this year, our Training Manager Sarah Smith and HR Manager Lucy Pawson were invited to join Aquinas College on their pre-summer careers event. It wasn't our first rodeo. DJS Research have supported Aquinas, and numerous other local schools and colleges, at many such events over the years and they always prove valuable - not just for the students, but for our teams taking part. 

	 

	In this short piece Sarah shares what happened on the Aquinas careers day and explains why she feels it's so vitally important for employers from all sectors to support young people in careers and skills training initiatives such as these. She also shares her hopes to excite young people about the wealth of potential careers ahead of them and to reassure them that varied and 'squiggly' career paths are often the most interesting.

	 

	Article by Training Manager, Sarah Smith 

	 

	We were delighted to be invited back to Aquinas College to participate in their careers day, having previously supported several different career activities at the college. The day was designed to give students, aged 16-17 years old, an idea of the different kinds of jobs that exist in the world of employment, along with a flavour for different organisations and their associated sectors.

	
		We were asked to prepare a short talk to tell students about our roles and responsibilities, what inspires us, industry challenges, and our route into our roles. We also made ample space for questions. Myself and Lucy attended in the morning and delivered two sessions together. It was great being able to step into students' world and meet them all (even if it did make us feel old!) and share insight with them that hopefully inspires and excites them about their future. Lucy and I both shared how 'making a difference' is part of what drives us in our roles, and really, that is what makes us keen and excited to engage with young people, or those considering their career choices, to help them find their way into jobs that they find rewarding and enjoyable!

					DJS Research - Review of the Year 2023
				</title>
				<description>
					
	

	 

	                 A huge thank you to our clients, respondents, suppliers and employee partners

	 

	Another year over – and again it's been a positive one for DJS Research, despite feeling like a more challenging year for the industry overall. We've continued to recruit more talent across all areas of the business, have promoted many of our hardworking team and have also seen client growth, particularly within the public sector (with some exciting plans in the pipeline!).

	 

	
		We have also continued upon our mission to make DJS Research an even better place to work for our people and for the planet, with an increased focus on corporate and social responsibility and employee wellbeing. This year we launched our first Employee Wellbeing Survey which has given us some great inspiration and direction for future change, and we've become one of 13,000 employers in the UK to pay a real Living Wage to all of our partners.

					Our research finds that over half of parents will give Christmas Eve gifts
				</title>
				<description>
					
	

	 

	By Research Director, Helen Menzies

	 

	I don't remember Christmas Eve boxes being a 'thing' when I was little (maybe just not in my house?!) but increasingly over the years I've heard more and more families talk about them. A quick Google presents me with plenty of options for every budget, with retailers from Card Factory to Fortnum  Mason offering Christmas Eve boxes and fillers.

	 

	I wanted to find out what parents are planning to do this year and what sort of things are going into these boxes, so we turned to our in-house panel to find out! Opinion Exchange is our panel of over 20,000 people in the UK who have signed up to take part in market research. We sent out an online poll to some parents on the panel and we quickly received just over 600 responses.

	 

	Our research shows that 59% of parents will be giving a Christmas Eve box/some kind of gift on Christmas Eve:

	 

	Will you be giving your child(ren) a 'Christmas Eve box' and/or a present on Christmas Eve?

	

	Base: 604 parents.

	 

	Amongst the 59% who plan to give some kind of Christmas Eve gift, we found that in general it is less about the gift per se (or indeed the box) and more about creating a special experience or atmosphere.  Whilst some parents are giving an item from under the tree before the big day, the most common gifts are:

	 

	

	bull; Cosy Christmas clothing (pyjamas, fluffy socks)

	bull; Treats such as chocolate, sweets or hot chocolate

	bull; A book

	bull; A DVD/choosing a new movie online

	bull; Pampering items (bath bombs, face masks)

	bull; Craft activities

	 

	
		"I like the idea but its only a little gift of pyjamas and hot chocolate. Not a big gift."

					Heuristics
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Heuristics are mental shortcuts that help us make quick decisions and judgements. These strategies are generalisations or rules-of-thumb that reduce cognitive effort, enabling us to handle complex situations more easily. While they can be helpful for rapid decision-making, heuristics often lead to biased conclusions, resulting in irrational or inaccurate judgements.

					Behavioural Theory Psychology
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Behavioural theory psychology is an area of psychology that focuses on the study of observable behaviours rather than internal mental states. It's based on the principle that all behaviours are acquired through conditioning, which occurs through interaction with the environment. Behavioural theory psychology emphasises the role of external stimuli in shaping behaviour and posits that behaviour can be studied in a systematic and observable manner without considering internal mental states.

					Psychology Behavioural Science
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Psychology behavioural science is the study of human behaviour through the lens of psychological principles, focusing on understanding how and why individuals make decisions. This is an interdisciplinary field, taking aspects from psychology, sociology, economics and cognitive science to explore the cognitive, emotional and social factors influencing behaviour. Applied behavioural science can have a positive influence on decision making, whether it be in the realm of public policy, designing products and marketing, or developing personal habits.

					Behavioural Theory Economics
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Behavioural theory economics, more commonly known as behavioural economics, is a field that uses insights from psychology and economics to understand how individuals actually behave in economic situations, as opposed to how they're predicted to behave under traditional economic theories. Behavioural economics comes under the behavioural science category, which is growing in popularity year-on-year in the market research industry.

				<description>
					
 The British Nudge Unit, officially known as the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), is a social purpose organisation that applies principles of behavioural economics to improve public policy and services. It was established in the Cabinet Office in 2010 by former Prime Minister David Cameron. Currently, it is owned completely by British charity Nesta. The Nudge Unit employs techniques from psychology, behavioural economics, and marketing to shape public thinking and decision-making, thereby enhancing compliance with government policies. This approach helps reduce social and governmental costs associated with inaction and poor adherence to policies and regulations.

					Behavioural Economics Nudging
				</title>
				<description>
					
 In behavioural economics, nudging refers to subtly guiding individuals' behaviour by altering the way choices are presented, without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives. The approach comes from the area of behavioural economics, which combines psychology and economic theory to understand how people make decisions in real-life situations.

					Behavioural Scientists
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Behavioural scientists refer to scientists who study why humans sometimes behave in a way that may not maximise their own well-being, such as making choices in the present that do not maximise their happiness in the future. They also test how different incentives affect people's motivation and behaviour, analyse how people judge others' traits and characteristics based on features of their face or voice and they investigate how consumers can be encouraged to make, avoid or change spending decisions.

					User Research (User Experience Research / UX)
				</title>
				<description>
					
 User research encompasses a range of approaches which can utilised to understand how users experience or use a product or service and what they expect from it. When interacting with a product or service, people are not typically seeking the interaction itself, but rather the end result or the solution to a problem. In the long run, successful user research and on-going user experience research will save time and development costs. It is a wider field but includes User Experience (UX) research.

					Customer Experience (CX) Research
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Customer experience, also known as CX, is the entire experience a customer has with a business when using a service or buying a product. It includes each step of the buying process, from navigating the website to buying the product and then receiving the product/service in person. In a shortened term, it is a holistic view of the whole interaction between a customer/potential customer and the business or brand.

  

 Customer experience is no longer a unique thing that differentiates a company, as now it is one of the most important things people think about when making purchases, almost as important as the actual product itself. In fact, 80% of people consider CX to be as important as the product itself, meaning it can be the difference between someone buying your product and a competitor's product, as 4 in 5 people are looking out for the best experience with a company as possible.

  

 Customer experience also ties in very closely with user experience (UX). User experience is almost the opposite of CX. It adopts a more reductionist view because it is all about a singular customer touchpoint (interaction) - rather than the entire process a customer goes through. For example, the first customer touchpoint might be seeing a brand's advert on social media, so the UX would be purely focused on the customer's interaction when seeing the advert for the first time.

  

 In terms of customer experience research, many methods are involved in conducting the research. A few of these which we use are:

  

 
  Customer journey mapping


 
  Interviews, surveys and focus groups


 
  Ethnography


 
  Behavioural science


  

 The benefits of conducting CX research are that you can begin to see where improvements are needed to attract new customers or repeatedly bring back old customers, you can begin to strengthen or build a relationship between you and your customers, you can gain a positive reputation and you can also grow your business as a whole from the information discovered when conducting CX research.

					Health and Well-being Market Research
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Health and well-being market research refers to the study and analysis of consumer preferences, behaviours and attitudes related to health and wellness. It helps businesses understand the ever-changing needs of customers in this sector. This then allows for marketing campaigns to be correctly targeted and products to be made and designed specifically to meet the needs and demands present, helping to promote healthier lifestyles.

  

 The health and well-being sector requires a lot of interaction between the consumer and the researcher to allow the researcher to fully understand what demands they want to be met and what their preferences are when it comes to something they would buy or something that would help them develop a healthy lifestyle. People's health and well-being are likely to be very different for everyone, as it is quite a personal topic so making sure the market research incorporates and listens to everyones' views is crucial. Otherwise, a marketing campaign or product may not be suited to many customers, forcing companies to miss out on sales.

  

 Health and well-being is a topic that many are familiar with, however a lot of organisations would like to understand it more and learn about what it actually is and the opportunities it can present. Well-being in simple terms is ultimately what is good for that person and what is in the self-interest of that person. Products can range from luxury candles to supplements and oils and also simple things like sleeping masks. 

  

 With many companies not being hugely knowledgeable on the topic, it leaves potential and opportunities to step into the market. Especially in terms of health and well-being market research because there is more research and investigating to be done in this sector as it holds many openings. To add to that, it can be something companies can learn more about in order to treat their employees as well as possible and keep everyone working for them happy and healthy.

					Sustainable Marketing
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Sustainable marketing, also known as green marketing, is the promotion of environmentally and socially responsible products, practices and brands. For example, if you have bought something at a higher price than usual because it is locally sourced or 100% recyclable then you have experienced sustainable marketing. Sustainable marketing aims to improve the quality of life by promoting products, services and ideas that don't harm the environment.

  

 In terms of market research, sustainable marketing can come into play if you are creating a new promotion, campaign, or advert with one of your clients. You can introduce the key aspects into the report or presentation for your client. This is so they know who they can target and what specific topic of sustainability they need to target to attract as many customers as possible or improve their company in the way that their customers would like. When the market research company encourages this and includes this information in the reports they put together, it makes it easy for their clients to adopt. Sustainable marketing in the market research world ties in closely to sustainability market research.

  

 Sustainability and being green is becoming a big thing for many people and customers expect to see their favourite companies adopt green methods. Sustainable marketing is easy to introduce to help make a step in the right direction, as it comes with low costs and only requires a few tweaks to the current marketing strategy.

  

 Examples of sustainable marketing are very common to come across today. For example, Nike introduced Nike Forward which is a lightweight material that aims to lower the brand's carbon footprint by 75%, compared to the traditional knit materials they have previously used. This material being used and promoted is sustainable marketing.

					London peak-time travel has levelled out post-covid but many still start and end the week at home, data suggests
				</title>
				<description>
					
 London peak-time travel has levelled out post-covid but many start and end the week at home, data suggests: Peak-time travel data released by Transport for London (TFL) indicates that the return to the office has flattened out in central London since covid-19. Tap-out figures Tuesday to Thursday have evened out at 80% of pre-pandemic levels but Monday and Friday figures remain much lower, suggesting a preference for mid-week office days. 

  

 The data from TFL spans September 2024 to March 2025 – a period during which media coverage highlighted new office mandates by many major organisations. Despite these moves, the data reflects just a 1.3% increase in peak time tube travel volumes in central London since September last year. All weekdays have seen a similar increase in volumes, but Friday remains the lightest travel day by far, at just 62% of pre-covid levels, followed by Mondays, at 71.2%.   

  

 In addition to differences by day, breaking the city down into smaller areas highlights significant geographical variations in travel volumes. The West End area of central London has the least amount of people travelling during peak-time, with 44% less tap-outs recorded in this area vs. pre-covid. The City of London's legal district and Westminster remain 33% below pre-covid rates. In contrast, the finance district in the City of London has a much higher return rate with peak tube travel up at 84% of pre-pandemic levels.

  

 From the data we can conclude that workers are spending much larger amounts of time out of the office than they were in 2019, in some areas of London more than others. With many London employers set to increase office mandates further, future trends in the TFL travel data may provide an interesting insight into their success.

					Significant gap in views on gender equality evident between Gen Z men and women worldwide, research finds
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Significant gap in views on gender equality between Gen Z men and women worldwide, research finds: Research undertaken or International Women's Day 2025 has revealed that Gen Z men and women are the most divided generation when it comes to issues surrounding gender equality. Their answers to key questions on topics including women's equality and feminism highlighted significant differences in opinion between the genders – more so than any other generation surveyed. 

  

 The research involved respondents from 30 countries and was carried out by Ipsos UK and the Global Institute for Women's Leadership at King's College London. Over 24,000 people over the age of 18, from all generations, were surveyed across countries including the United States, Great Britain, Thailand, Japan, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Australia and Ireland. In stark contrast to the widely perceived view that younger generations are collectively supportive of measures to improve gender equality, notably opposing views were evident between Gen Z men and women globally. 

  

 Feminism was one of the most divisive topics on the survey for Gen Z. Over half (53%) of Gen Z women agreed with the statement "I define myself as a feminist", notably higher than Gen X females (37%) and millennials (46%). In comparison, only 32% of Gen Z men said they defined themselves as a feminist, remaining very much in line with the responses of previous generations of men (Baby Boomers 28%, Gen X 29% and Millennials 32%). 

  

 Women's rights was another cause for divide amongst Generation Z. Almost two thirds (59%) of Gen Z men across the survey agreed with the statement 'When it comes to giving women equal rights with men, things have gone far enough in my country', compared to less than half (48%) of Gen Z women. Similar stark differences were apparent when participants were asked if women's quality had gone "too far" and was resulting in "discrimination against men"; 57% of Gen Z men agreed with this view compared to only 36% of Gen Z women. 

  

 Where Gen Z did align was their opinion that marked tension exists between men and women today, with almost two thirds (60%) agreeing with this statement compared to just 40% of Baby Boomers. Most Gen Z respondents - 55% of men and 62% of women - agreed that significant gender tensions exist in society, a perception that appears to be reflected in the survey results for their generation.

  

 Although this survey provides an interesting insight into the differing views of Gen Z men and women on a global scale, it is important to note that all figures are based on a 30-country average and individual results by country will vary significantly.

					Over a third of independent museums in the UK may rely purely on volunteers, research finds
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Over a third of independent museums in the UK rely purely on the work of volunteers: Research from the Association of Independent Museums (AiM) has found that 39% of independent museums in the UK may rely purely on volunteers, having no paid employees. This statistic highlights the crucial role and contribution of volunteers for many museums across the UK, suggesting that without whom they could simply not survive. 

  

 AiM represents, connects and strengthens the UK's independent museum and heritage organisations and these findings were revealed in their latest Economic Impact of the Independent Museum Sector Report. The report included responses from 166 AiM members, equating to 18% of their membership, across museums of different sizes and determined that only 61% have paid employees.  

  

 To understand the vital contribution of volunteers to the independent museum sector, AiM asked respondents specific questions about regular volunteer numbers and total volunteering days. They applied these figures across their entire membership (940 members as of June 2024) and estimate there to be in the region of 38,900 regular volunteers contributing 518,000 days per year to the sector. If you apply the 2024 minimum wage rate, and assume a standard working day of 7 hours, the scale of volunteer days is estimated to be valued at more than £41 million per year.

  

 However, in addition to volunteer roles, the reports also highlights that there are upwards of 7,200 paid jobs in the independent museum sector, 4,700 of which are full-time positions (again the AiM applied respondent data to their entire member base). The report indicates that the majority of paid employees live locally, with 70% of jobs based in the same local areas as the independent museums themselves. This localness indicates the direct and positive impact these institutions have on employment rates in their surrounding communities. 

  

 The findings in this report indicate clearly that local employment and volunteer support are both vital to underpin and sustain the independent museum sector.

					Over nine in ten schools in England have implemented a ban on mobile phone usage, survey reveals
				</title>
				<description>
					
 Nine in ten schools in England have implemented a ban on mobile phone usage: A recent national survey ordered by the Children's Commissioner for England, Rachel de Souza, has revealed that 90% of secondary schools, and almost all primary schools (99.8%), have policies in place to prevent the use of mobile phones during the school day. 

  

 The study constitutes the largest-ever survey of schools and colleges in England and included responses from more than 19,000 schools (almost 90% of all schools in the country). Results reveal that the vast majority have measures in place to prevent mobile phone usage on school premises. The findings highlight the variations in restriction levels implemented by headteachers. These varied from a blanket ban on bringing mobile devices onto school grounds to requiring pupils to hand their phones in to a member of staff on arrival.

  

 The survey shows that restrictions were less restrictive in secondary schools, with only 3.5% of secondary pupils banned from taking their mobile phone into school compared to 21% of primary school pupils. In addition, almost four in five secondary schools (79%) allowed pupils to keep their phone on them during the school day but prohibited the use or display of them within school hours. Interestingly, 6% of secondary schools said pupils could use their phones in lessons when approved by a member of staff.

  

 The survey shows that the majority of schools in England have taken actions which are in line with the Department for Education's non-statutory guidance. Before Labour took over in parliament, the Conservatives promoted an amendment to the government's schools bill that required all English schools to ban the use of mobile phones – this was rejected by Keir Starmer.

  

 The general secretary of the National Education Union (NEU), Daniel Kebede, said: "My personal view is I would support a statutory ban on mobile phones in schools. I think it would alleviate pressure on school leaders and teachers but also parents. I think there is a much-needed conversation to be had in this country about mobile phone use, online harm and the damaging impact that it has on our young people."
