FREE 3 hour RAW (Resilience, Adaptability & Wellbeing) workshop

Thursday 20th April 1.30-4.30pm

Attracting and retaining good staff is one of the core challenges of our times.

Supporting the health of your workforce brings many benefits to both employer and employee. Alongside the well-recognised benefits – including improved productivity and reduced sickness absence – evidence is now clear that staff value employers who care for their health. So what are the key health factors and how can you encourage staff to engage with them? What helps and what hinders staff engagement and motivation?

This in-person interactive workshop uncovers:

• Key areas of men’s health to focus on

• Key aspects of women’s health

• Where men’s and women’s health matters align and where they differ

Together we will explore how to engage staff in addressing and working with health issues.

You will take away recommendations for staying healthy in the workplace – top tips for men and top tips for women that you can share within your organisation.

Stress, distress and suicide - how to help people in your workplace

FREE 3 hour RAW (Resilience, Adaptability & Wellbeing) workshop

Thursday 23rd February 1.30-4.30pm

Suicide is one of the last taboos – especially in the workplace

When your stress bucket creaks and overflows, you can feel out of control and completely overwhelmed. For some, those feelings of distress and loss of control can lead to thoughts of suicide.

In this in-person interactive workshop we will explore:

• Factors that contribute towards an overfilled stress bucket

• Signs that suggest the stress bucket is getting over-strained

• How to talk about suicide and help others talk about suicidal feelings

And we will dispel some of the myths and misconceptions about suicide, which often hold us back from having the conversation.

2.00 – 4.00pm

Join RAW Network members and guest speakers as we explore: CLIMATE CHANGE – WHAT CAN WE DO?

Climate change and becoming more sustainable are high on the agenda for individuals, teams, and organisations. There is no getting away from it that our ways of working need to change. And to lean into these high agenda items, we need all the resilience we can muster.

How do we regenerate, renew, and give back to the world?

Join us for a two-hour face to face exploration with leaders, managers and two guest speakers on aiming for net zero, net positive and being carbon neutral.

28 April 2022

2 – 4pm. Arrivals from 1.30pm with tea & coffee, for a prompt 2pm start at Oasis School of Human Relations, Hall Mews, Clifford Road, Boston Spa, LS23 6DT.

Its already time for action. We will dive into some of the big questions together – exploring and learning from each other. Questions such as “How can we be a force for good in the world?” “How can we pay attention to climate change and work in a more sustainable way?” “How do we invoke and harness the passion for this work and create real impact?”

Our two guest speakers both have powerful stories to share about how organisations are facing into climate change through making tangible differences to their ways of working.

How do we become more carbon neutral? You will hear Simon Hotchkin, Head of Sustainable Development from Betty’s & Taylor’s group on how they achieved carbon neutrality in their tea lines by 2019 through deep engagement with their suppliers and a genuine commitment to improve the lives of the tea pickers.

How do we get people on board? And from Carlo Giardinetti, Sustainability Lead for Deloitte Switzerland on how to ensure people in your organisation are bought into the change process involved in becoming more sustainable through net positivity. We will explore the concept of leading through the middle out and how this can help.
