As the Coronavirus pandemic took over, people across the world were sent home…

We found new ways of working, we created our own home offices and in many cases we even learnt to work with the distractions of children, animals and our other halves.

Towards the end of the summer, things seemed to change. We were all encouraged back to the office. We covered our faces, kept our distance and flocked back to the office.

Now times are changing once again and we are back at home, working solo, while catching up with our colleagues via video calls and group chats 🙈

It’s a stressful time and it is normal to feel anxious about everything.

Take some time out this weekend to relax, reflect and think about yourself 💙 ... See MoreSee Less

The Autumn half term is here 🍂

For many children, this has probably felt like the longest term in history, after a solid five months off at the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic.

For many parents, this term has probably been a much needed break, as working from home at the same time as home schooling is not easy.

How will you be spending this Autumn half term?

Enjoy and stay safe 🧡 ... See MoreSee Less

Today is #WorldFoodDay 🍽

They say you are what you eat and they are right…

What you eat does have a massive impact on your mood, performance at work, exercise, even sleep. If you eat well, chances are you will feel better and perform better than if you don’t eat well.

Here are some of the foods (and drinks) which are linked to better brain power:

🥦 Green, leafy vegetables
🐟 Fatty fish
🍓 Berries
☕️ Tea and coffee
🥜 Walnuts

Do any of these play a part in your diet? Let us know in the comments! ... See MoreSee Less

As #WorldMentalHealthDay took place over the weekend, now is the time to think about balancing your personal and professional development with your mental health.

According to research 1 in 6 people are experiencing mental health problems at work 😓

Working your hardest to be the best employee, to some people may mean long hours or taking on extra work, but in the long run this isn’t feasible for your mental wellbeing.

Just like your personal life, balancing your mental health in your professional life is just as important as it reflects on both your behaviour at work and at home!

So what ways can be implemented to balance your mental health in your professional life? 👇🏼
