𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 '𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁' 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿?
𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is vital in developing a 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 and it is integral to employee wellbeing as it has the power to uplift key business outcomes.
We often claim, as leaders, that our organisation is being led by the ethos of a '𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁' environment. However, and especially during times of uncertainty, we can lose sight of our 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 through the busy-ness and the knee-jerk reactions we display in trying to manage the volatility of the day-to-day challenges that arise.
👉 In our Blog '𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁’ 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲, we look at how to develop stronger Human Connections at work, and what leaders need to do to transform their culture to become a culture-first environment. We include statistics from employee feedback on the key areas that affect them feeling disconnected and how you, as a leader, can improve better Human Connections.

In recognition of World Mental Health Day, we share our short video on Mental Health and Menopause and the Business Impact. It's OK to admit that you are not feeling OK and to remember that you are not alone in your struggle. It is important to talk about how you are feeling with loved ones and colleagues at work. Mental Health and Menopause is a journey - it is not a destination. Take a moment today to Take 10 Together - to talk, share and support one another.
