This week, Sadie Restorick and Simon Scott-Nelson, Wellity Global, reflect on the popularity of upcoming awareness days and how you can further support your team.
New research by Gympass, who surveyed UK HR Leaders in June 2022, has found that 84.7% admitted their wellbeing culture was ‘average’ or ‘below average’. Now more than ever, it’s about education, communication, empowerment and choice.
Awareness Days across the UK and internationally provide a fantastic opportunity for employers to raise awareness and educate their teams around important topics.
We’ve put together a list of important upcoming awareness days ready for you to mark in your calendars, with a range of topics which can all be made bespoke to your team and the difficulties they are facing.
