Relaxation ‘Taster’ Sessions

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, 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.
