CREATING CONNECTIONS IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY
In times of great uncertainty, our mental health is often the first thing to suffer. Now, more than ever, it’s important that we learn to recognise the signs that might appear when our colleagues are struggling and take steps to prevent this where possible. We sat down with our Head of Talent, Careers and Development, Vicky Waters, to talk about looking after your mental health when you’re working from home.

Because many of our staff choose to drive to work, we encourage them to share their journeys and we sat down with two of our car-sharers, Dilwar and Kam, to chat about their experience car sharing, and why they think more people should do the same.
PUTTING A FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE
With the festive season firmly behind us, talk of the ‘January blues’ has begun again. Blue Monday, typically the third Monday of the month, is claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. While January often leaves most of us feeling temporarily unhappier, we believe that wellbeing and mental health are always important, regardless of the time of year.
