Relaxation ‘Taster’ Sessions

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Sites must take appropriate steps to ensure the health and wellbeing of the workforce. Wellbeing initiatives foster positive mental health and make for a more productive workforce.

See the examples below detailing the initiative developed by one site:

  • Site management thought about what they as individuals do to relax and de-stress when they are at home.
  • Each member of staff then developed a short taster session to offer members of the workforce an introduction into their hobby.
  • Activities included boxing, playing guitar, pilates and bread making.
  • The initiative was promoted through flyers and proved a great success.

The added personal touch of this initiative enhanced socialisation on site while also advising operatives on activities which could help them to de-stress after work.
