Further updates from our Committees
Herbal teas
We hope those of you who have their new coffee machines in place have been enjoying these. You will have noticed that we now also have herbal tea stands to promote a healthier, happier choice if you wanted to avoid a caffeine overload!
Wellness Action Recovery Plans
We wanted to take this opportunity to encourage use of the Wellness Recovery Action Plans. You can access the document here: mind-wellness-action-plan-workplace
This is ideal to run through with either your line managers, or any of the mental health champions, and is a great way to be aware of mental health in the workplace.
