The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly emphasised the importance of employee mental health support. Being in isolation for such a long period of time has led to feelings of loneliness and stress. From increased levels of stress, to frequent burnouts, we have all felt the impact of such a huge global change.
Now that we are all transitioning back to working in the office, or managing our hybrid working situations, how can you support your staff with their mental health and wellbeing? Especially during January.
After the excitement of the Christmas holidays, going back to work can be challenging for a lot of people, particularly if they are working from home, surrounded by decorations they haven’t put away yet and with plenty of extra holiday snacks – it’s much more common to feel overwhelmed after having time off.
Well, don’t worry, because there are plenty of ways that you can support your staff and boost team morale this winter.
Whether it’s upbeat music to help focus, slower music to de-stress, or a favourite podcast, listening to music while working can be a great way to destress and help focus*. We all have our go-to playlist to help us get through a difficult day, so why not treat your staff to branded headphones or a speaker. They can utilise this focus technique fully while working from home, or to ease their worries on the morning commute.

Whether your team are back in the office or working from home, there are plenty of ways to get them involved with wellbeing events. How about a gratitude challenge, or encouraging your team to eat their five a day? You could send gift boxes with all the supplies they need to take part in a company-wide wellbeing challenge.
It is also worth noting that Friday 4th March is Employee Appreciation Day, so why not gift your staff a surprise treat? From personalised water bottles and coffee cups, to sweet treats (vegan options included), we can put together your perfect team gift to boost morale and team spirit.
If a wellbeing challenge doesn’t float your boat, why not lift the mood in the office by gifting one of our very aptly named branded Mood® Gift Sets?
These gift sets are available in many bright colours and finishes to suit your branding, as well as the option to personalise each item (or the box) to create the perfect uplifting gift.
Working from home can mean that a lot of the things that we usually do all together is lost, such as team breakfast meetings – so why not bring these back? With our fully branded Breakfast Box, you and your team can all enjoy the most important meal of the day together on a virtual zoom meeting on a Monday morning and it’ll feel just like old times!
A great opportunity for team bonding, as well as a delicious croissant, tea and juice with various spreads – what more could you want on a dreary winter Monday? And what’s more...we can even send them out to individual addresses for you – saving you time and stress!
Throughout the pandemic, walking and exercise has become extremely important, so why not support your staff with a Winter Walking Kit! A Hi-Viz bag, pedometer and water bottle are a perfect trio to accompany your staff on their daily wellbeing walks to get a breath of fresh air.
