We’re excited to invite all employees to attend a series of live half-hour relaxation and meditation sessions, as part of our new approach to health and wellbeing.
The sessions will be held virtually and hosted by Rebecca Max, a qualified meditation and relaxation teacher who is passionate about helping people better understand how to manage their emotions and prioritise their wellbeing.
The sessions have been scheduled for a range of times during the day to cater to various work schedules and aim to encourage you to relax and develop new techniques for finding mindful moments.
As we move into the peak of the pandemic, there’s never been a more important time to focus on your health and wellbeing. We encourage you to participate with your colleagues or take the time to join in from home.
