Wellbeing in your organisation

Heard of The Five Ways to Wellbeing? They are simple and proven actions you can introduce in your life to find balance, build resilience, and boost your mental health and wellbeing:

·      Connect: feeling close to and valued by others boosts wellbeing. Take a moment every day to connect with someone.

·      Be Active: being physically active improves physical health and can improve mood and wellbeing, decreasing stress, depression, and         anxiety. Go for a walk or run. Step outside.

·      Take Notice: pay more attention to the present moment, thoughts, feelings, and the world around.

·      Keep Learning: be curious. Try something new. Take on a new responsibility.

·      Give: acts of kindness, small or large, can increase happiness and life satisfaction. Do something nice for someone.

It sounds simple but it’s often the simple things that fall through the cracks. Organisations that prioritise mental health have better engagement, reduced absenteeism, and higher productivity, while people have greater morale and higher job satisfaction.

Have you incorporated measures to support wellbeing into your organisation's health and safety plan?

Thank you for all you do. I really like the way our accounting is done quietly for us in the background, keeping us up to date and compliant and allowing us to focus on helping others.
