Helping Your Workforce ‘Bounce Back and Thrive’!
Thursday 18th June, 12.00 - 1.00pm
This session will be presented by Lisa Seagroatt, Founder and Managing Director of HR Fit for Purpose Lisa was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2019 Best Business Women Awards, Business Services Category.
As people start to return to work, they are going to need support following the pandemic and as things start to ease the reality of what our employees have coped with will start to be realised. As human beings we tend to ‘cope’ with stress – it’s part of life – but not like this - the stress created as a consequence of this pandemic will start to rear its head after the storm has calmed down.
Some years ago, I experienced a mental health breakdown caused by workplace stress following many years of bullying. It was a life changing experience. The symptoms of stress, including anxiety, panic attacks and depression, can be paralysing. I decided to turn a negative experience into something positive to help others. In short, I have managed to ‘bounce back and thrive’. Since then I have made it my personal mission to use my operational experience of managing people to help raise awareness of the importance of creating work environments where people will thrive, recognising that people ‘are your business’ and without them ‘you have no business’.
Supporting health and wellbeing in the workplace has never been more critical than it is now. This is the key to helping people to ‘bounce back and thrive’.
