Our Wellbeing Strategy Group UK has now finalised our 2024 Wellbeing Strategy Plan and we are delighted to share it with you.
In 2024 the group will move to bimonthly campaigns, to generate greater engagement, alongside Work Life Balance activities throughout the year.
Our 2024 Wellbeing Plan
January/February: Mental Health Awareness
March/April: Women’s Health
May/June: Men’s Health
July/August: Alcohol & Drugs
Sept/Oct: Respiratory Health
Nov/Dec: Movember, Neurodiversity and Loneliness
Details of the plan will evolve throughout the year but be sure to check UK News and your workplace noticeboards for the resources and activities we will be sharing and running.
Your Wellbeing in 2024 – how can we support you?
Although we have a high level plan, we are also keen to hear your views about what Wellbeing resources would benefit you to help focus our efforts throughout 2024. We have created a quick form, and we invite you to take two minutes to let us know the wellbeing topics that are of interest to you, and that you would like to have more information about in 2024. You can access the short survey here. Thank you, we appreciate your feedback.
Coming Up!
Coming up in January and February, our focus is Mental Health Awareness and we have some great new webinars available for you to join. Look out in next week’s UK News for more details. In February we are planning to run a Grab a Brew Week 5th-9th February where we will be encouraging you to take time out with your colleagues to talk about how things are going at work and at home. Having someone to listen can help you work through what’s going on and feel better able to cope if things are getting tough. We don’t have to be experts to help our colleagues open up when something’s up. We will be sharing some tips which will help you to spot when someone may be struggling, open up a conversation and be a good listener.
