Be active
Regular exercise is essential not only for a physical condition but helps with mental health issues and slows age related conditions. So remaining active assists our wellbeing in a number of ways.
|
Environment
Our environment impacts our wellbeing in all sorts of ways. Managed correctly, it can help to eliminate stress. It is important that both our home and work environments provide the appropriate setting for individuals to thrive. In a positive environment we all look after each other.

Connect
Being close to and valued by others is a basic human need. Social relationships are important for promoting wellbeing and to supporting one another.
|
Good mental health
Good Mental Health is as important as physical health. Mental Health doesn’t stay the same throughout your life and everyone is different. There are lots of ways we can look after our mental health and ensure we are thriving. Good Mental Health is not just the absence of a mental health problem, but having the ability to handle any challenges we face and be able to think, feel and act in a way that allows us to enjoy life.

Take notice
It has been shown that awareness of the here and now can enhance our wellbeing and help prioritise. This is as simple as enjoying the moment and the environment around you.
|
Physical health
There is often a distinction between physical and mental health, but the two should not be thought of as separate. Physical health is connected to your mental and emotional health. Taking care of your body is a powerful first step towards positive wellbeing.

Keep learning
Learning new skills can help with our wellbeing by keeping our minds active and improving our self esteem. New skills may also help us contribute more at work and at home.
|
Personal Development
Personal development will help you broaden your skill set and leave you feeling inspired. Having a sense of purpose and fulfillment in our lives is key to our wellbeing. Often we underestimate the influence our career can have upon our individual wellbeing. Personal development is also an enabler to influencing and driving change.

Give
It has been proven that giving helps our self esteem and wellbeing. Giving can include donating our time to others and supporting good causes.

Organisation values and support
Improving your wellbeing is integral to our LIFE programme. These initiatives will influence both your work and your home life. These are supported by partner employee assistance programmes.
