We held our first-ever Global Well-being Champion call last week, bringing together more than 80 Well-being Champions from across our business🤝 During the call, we took the opportunity to celebrate the incredible support our Champions offer to our colleagues every day - their dedication to fostering a positive workplace culture where everyone feels inspired to thrive truly makes a difference. We were so pleased to have Terry Streather, Director and Head of Training at Oakwood Training, join us as a guest speaker. Terry shared insightful reflections on managing uncertainty during the festive period. Looking ahead to 2025, we’ll continue to raise awareness around key well-being initiatives ensuring that support and care remain at the forefront of everything we do. #InspiredToThrive #KeepingYouMoving
