Did you know? Two-thirds of UK employees feel disconnected at work and almost a quarter of workers (23%) agreed that feeling lonely at work has affected their mental health*, impacting engagement, wellbeing and retention.
This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week (12-18 May) theme is “Community”. Finding a sense of belonging in the workplace is vital to maintain happy, engaged employees. If organisations exercise values-based management then employees can connect over a shared goal and feel a sense of purpose.
Our personal and work lives now require a different kind of support to help us feel that we truly belong. Feeling a sense of belonging means different things to different people, so how can HR leaders and people managers foster connection at work?
Join Westfield Health for an insightful webinar during Mental Health Awareness Week. Aimed at HR professionals, people managers and wellbeing champions, you’ll gain practical advice and tips for creating inclusive, connected workplaces that empower your people to thrive.
