Tēnā koutou,
It’s the first month of winter, and the end of the financial year for many businesses. With that comes budgets, cold spells, business plans, and winter sickness. Add into the mix new research from Massey University suggesting that the New Zealand workforce might be more burned out than ever – and we’ve got the potential to feel downtrodden.
To help turn the tide, for Pink Shirt Day last month we partnered with the Mental Health Foundation to celebrate difference, promote diversity, and prevent harm in a panel webinar on cyberbullying (you can watch that here: password D$#44inz). And, if you’re keen for more, we’re delighted to invite you to our first exclusive launch of Umbrella’s new anti-bullying introductory training on Thursday 20 June. Scroll down to find out more and where to buy tickets.
Last month we also talked about the tsunami of change happening now. It turns out that a lot of you are feeling the same. To keep the conversation going, read our latest articles on positive leadership during change management, and what really helps when work demands are high (based on brand new published research from Umbrella!).
And, finally, looking forward to the next few weeks, we invite you to come along and say hi at the National Health and Safety Conference on 18-19 June in Auckland, and join us online for a special Dry July webinar in partnership with PIVOT Explore. And all the days in-between? You can always give us a call to see how we can help your team to thrive.
We’ve got services to suit your budget and needs, with workshops ranging from “anti-bullying” to “change” to “thriving”, and all the expertise to help you measure, strategise and maintain wellbeing in your organisation.
Until next time, mā te wā,
The Umbrella Team
