More than ever, the pandemic has shown us the importance of prioritising our health and wellbeing. So as we close out another year like no other, let’s look at what the past 12 months have looked like and some of the support services available in the new year.
Employee Wellbeing Forums
This year we were fortunate enough to be joined by 13 guest speakers at our Employee Wellbeing Forums including two Paralympians, a clinical Psychologist and an Exercise Physiologist.
Covering a wide range of topics from nutrition to resilience, healthy relationships to parenting during the pandemic, each speaker shared valuable insights from their areas of expertise.
If you missed a session and would like to catch up, you can view all past events by visiting the COVID-19 employee website or accessing the Employee Wellbeing Forum Overview document here.
