RetailTRUST holds first wellbeing at work forum

The event, supported by Eversheds Sutherland, was designed around the four pillars of wellbeing – emotional, physical, financial and vocational – and set out to challenge, inspire and motivate attendees, and provide them with practical ideas to take back into the workplace.

Some of the topics discussed on the day included:

• The difference between managing mental health and managing a mental health condition
• Why HR and People departments should build a wellbeing strategy for their organisation and how to get buy-in from the board
• How to recognise the signs of emotional distress in colleagues and how best to support them
• How offering a much wider variety of financial options can boost wellbeing and encourage staff retention
• New training and development opportunities including how to deliver a successful
• apprenticeships programme
• And the importance of decent nutrition, hydration, exercise and optimal sleep for high performing teams – and their managers.
