At F!S Group, we understand the importance of prioritising mental health. So to recognise World Mental Health Day, we closed our offices for a day on Friday and gave our entire team the opportunity to take time for themselves with a longer weekend. Whether it was spending time with loved ones, relaxing, or simply recharging, we wanted everybody to make the most of it. With 1 in 4 of us experiencing a mental health problem each year, it’s vital to acknowledge the significance of mental wellbeing in both our personal and professional lives. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help and always prioritise time to reset and recharge. Thanks for everything you do, every single day Team-F!S! You’re true experts and brilliant human beings. We're blessed to have you as part of our family. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #FISGroup #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmployeeWellbeing #SupportEachOther #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthAwareness #ItsOKToTalk
