The Regional Workforce Wellbeing Network has been working across organisations over Covid-19 to coordinate and share resources, strategies and supports in order to best support each other during this very challenging time. We are continuing to work post-covid, as part of the Healthier Workplaces, to keep the needs of staff support to the fore.
A range of resources have been developed by the Network and we hope that they might be helpful for all our colleagues across organisations and teams; and also to use individually. These include a Covid Recovery Toolkit , a Recovery infographic and slides which can be accessed on the Staff Health and Wellbeing SharePoint.
