This week (24th - 30th June) is World Wellbeing Week and, as a company dedicated to keeping people safer, it is an opportunity for us to highlight the things we do and reflect on what else we could be doing to care for the wellbeing of our team. Our mission is to be the provider of innovative solutions for a safer future, meaning we are constantly focused on safety hazards for road workers and road users so that we can develop smart ideas, creative designs and new technology to reduce risk. Our people are at the heart of our business, and we are committed to innovating in the way we care for their wellbeing too, here’s how: 👷♀️ We ensure that everyone has the correct PPE, including face-fit masks, along with comfortable accommodation and meal allowances when they need to work away from home. 🏋️ We offer benefits including discounted gym memberships and a cycle to work scheme, which are helping to keep our people fit and active. 🤝 We have an Employee Assistance Programme and four fully trained Mental Health First Aiders, so people always have someone to talk to.  🫶 We support initiatives that help people feel great inside and out, including our recent movement challenge in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, desk yoga for Mental Health Awareness Week and our volunteering scheme. Wellbeing is not a one-off tick in a box, it's a long-term culture, and definitely one that's important to us here at Highway Care! #worldwellbeingweek #wellbeing #wellness #mentalhealth #safety #employeewellbeing #innovativesolutionsforasaferfuture #highwaycare

🌍 Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and at The SHM Foundation, we recognise that supporting each other’s #wellbeing isn’t just an ideal—it’s what we do every day. This year's theme, "Mental Health at Work", highlights the vital role of a healthy working environment. At SHM, our team culture is built on shared values that guide us: ✨ Care & Kindness: We prioritise looking after one another and the people we work with, dedicating time and resources to support the wellbeing of our team, partners, and participants. 🌐 Connection: Spanning over six countries, we know meaningful human connection doesn’t require being in the same room. We promote participatory leadership, collaboratively establishing our strategy and developing programmes in a close-knit, open, and cooperative environment. One of our favourite practices? Reading Days —a moment to pause, reflect, and recharge. And don’t forget our wellbeing mystery days —planned through a lottery system, offering surprise activities designed by the team to relax and bring joy. At SHM, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. #MentalHealthAtWork #WorkplaceWellbeing

We understand that taking care of our mental well-being is a crucial part of who we are. This is why at Howorth Air Tech we are working on breaking down barriers and improving mental health care for those struggling with #anxiety. Our commitment to employee well-being is evident through our Employee Wellbeing Programme. With the collaboration of Rugby League Cares and their empowering offload sessions, we have actively worked to break the silence and raise awareness among our employees. Let's use this week as a reminder to check in with ourselves and our loved ones and offer support to those struggling. #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthWeek

During #mentalhealthawareness week 2024 let’s focus on YOU. The OT, whether you work alone, manage a busy clinic, work in a diverse setting or are part of a great team. Occupational Therapist have so many therapeutic tools that they use with clients. No matter where you work, each OT also uses ‘therapeutic use of self’. This makes us all unique in our approach, how we use the tools in our toolbox and how we communicate with those around you. So, let’s acknowledge that we bring a lot of ourselves to work. OT supervision with me places YOU at the centre. When we access ‘therapeutic use of self’ we must remember that we also need a place to managed our responses to different therapeutic and work dynamics. A space to reflect and evaluate. To recognise challenges and successes. To recognise if we are feeling overwhelmed or stressed. To have open discussion about the things that make us feel vulnerable, when we doubt or question ourselves. When we feel like things are out of balance between life and work. OT supervision protects your wellbeing with a safe space to offload. To reflect, to learn from mistakes and successes and to grow. If you are looking to invest in OT supervision, where your wellbeing and life work balance is central to the discussion. Then comment below, or message me. I provide 1:1 and group supervision. Let’s have a cuppa and a chat. #OTsupervision #wellbeing #burnout #occupationaltherapy #schoolbasedot #clinicot #independentot #diverseot

Sharing Knowledge, Building Safer Workplaces Together! I recently had the privilege of sharing key takeaways from two impactful WSH conferences during the NTUC WSH Committee meeting, alongside fellow union leaders. Our goal? To make sure valuable knowledge reaches every corner of our workplaces, creating safer and healthier environments for all. Another sharing session invited to share are: Lithium Battery Safety – Thanks to Energizer Singapore for an insightful session on the dos and don’ts of handling lithium batteries, as well as the advantages of alkaline options. This knowledge empowers us to make safer choices and prevent potential hazards. Mental Wellness Matters – Grateful to Joseph Kalaivanar for introducing the Well-being Champions Network™ and promoting the Well-being First Responders initiative. This effort equips us to address mental health stigma and act as first responders, supporting our colleagues well-being in meaningful ways. Knowledge sharing like this ensures that even those unable to attend gain insights to take back to their workplaces. Together, we’re building a culture where safety and well-being come first. #WorkplaceSafety #MentalWellness

🌍 Today is World Values Day - a day to reflect on the principles that drive us, guide us, and unite us. Values are what matter most to us; they are the passion in our hearts and the reasons behind our actions. In a world that can often feel divided, values serve as the glue holding our communities and societies together, reflecting our shared humanity. They are truly powerful. This year’s theme, ‘Bringing Values to Life’, reminds us that when we actively live our values - whether as individuals, employees, leaders, organisations, or communities - we can bridge the divides and create a more positive world. At MHScot, we see firsthand the transformative power of values in our work. Our Mental Health and Wellbeing in the workplace education and training is all about helping organisations bring their values to life in the workplace. By cultivating an environment where values like respect, empathy, and inclusion are prioritised, we support teams in building resilience, enhancing wellbeing, and creating a more connected and compassionate workplace. Let’s all take a moment today to reflect on our values and how we can live them every day. Together, we can make a real difference. 💙 #WorldValuesDay #BringingValuesToLife #MentalHealthAtWork #WorkplaceWellbeing
