The psychological health and safety of our people is just as important as their physical health and safety. In order to reflect this in our work, we aim to create a psychologically safe working environment, where staff feel comfortable and confident talking about how they feel and asking for help. That’s exactly why our dedicated wellbeing consultant, Joanne Newman, has delivered a range of wellbeing workshops and sessions at our organisation. From wellbeing check-in sessions to ‘Joga’ yoga and breathing sessions, her sessions empower our staff to improve and prioritise their wellbeing. Her recent wellbeing session with our Communications team gained heaps of positive feedback: “Thank you so much for yesterday’s wellbeing session in Manchester for the comms team. I took a lot from it, and found the content and delivery engaging and informative. I think keeping the concepts of the bridge and the circle of control in mind will really help me navigate my work and personal life. After a tricky few years, your ideas have re-sharpened my focus on personal wellbeing.” Learn more about our wellbeing and employee support: ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eGHDmUnf
