If these steps are practised daily, they will improve your workplace wellbeing.
Connect
Find ways to get to know and connect with your colleagues, whether that’s an office pizza night or an opportunity to leave positive messages for your co-workers or just asking your colleagues would they like a tea or coffee. Engaging with the people around you, who you see every day will improve your wellbeing in the workplace.
Be Active
Get up from your desk and stretch your legs. You can even do this with your colleagues. Ask one person in your office to set an alarm every 40 mins to remind everyone to stand up and stretch. You could even ask some staff to do a lunch time walk with you.
Keep Learning
Always be proactive with your professional development. Learning new things and developing your skills in your role will keep you motivated and improve your wellbeing.
Take Notice of How You Feel
Pay attention to how they’re feeling throughout the day, and to take steps to look after your wellbeing. If you are becoming very stressed and overwhelmed activities such as using meditation or getting a plant for your desk could help relief stress.
Give
If your workplace doesn’t already do this, nominate a company charity of the year, allow staff to share their volunteering experiences and look for ways the company could donate their time to assist charities.

- Smoothies for all staff
It's set to be a great day!
