Health and Wellbeing<br />
In 2018, we concentrated our efforts in this area predominantly on the<br />
challenges of mental ill health in the workplace. Encouragingly, when we<br />
received our most recent set of results from the Britain’s Healthiest Workplace<br />
Survey, we could see a noticeable improvement in this area. As such, for <strong>2019</strong>,<br />
we opted to broaden our focus, launching several new initiatives and generally<br />
taking a more holistic perspective.<br />
Highlights from our Health and Wellbeing programme over the past year have included:<br />
workshops for all<br />
colleagues on<br />
techniques to improve<br />
emotional resilience<br />
