Mental Health Awareness Week

Today sees the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, at Nisa Retail HQ we've got three days of wellbeing activities taking place for colleagues.

We've got a fabulous team of Wellbeing Champions (some pictured above), colleagues who have undertaken Mental Health Awareness Training and volunteer their time to support colleagues and make Nisa a great place to work. They've planned some fantastic activities this week - we're just keeping our fingers crossed the weather holds out for us!

Tomorrow, we're clearing the outdoor seating area in preparation for a garden makeover. Supported by one of our amazing suppliers, Heineken and Inches Cider, we're getting plants, bushes, and the all important umbrellas to make the garden an outdoor work space.

We've also got an exercise bike on loan from our logistics partner, DHL, in our reception and colleagues are doing a cycling challenge - kickstarting our fundraising for our charity partner Barnardo's.

Wednesday, the lovely people from Kellogg's have kindly provided breakfast for colleagues and we're doing team breakfast and encouraging colleagues to spend time talking - which we all know is good for our wellbeing! Then we have various talks taking place throughout the day, covering addiction, the stress bucket and mindfulness. We've even got a former colleague coming in and doing some Pilates sessions over lunch!

Thursday sees the finishing touches to the garden area and the cycling challenge. We'll be posting pictures before, during and after! And a huge thanks in advance to the colleagues who volunteer their time to make Nisa such a fab place to work!
