Next week is Mental Wellbeing awareness week!
It is an opportunity for organisations around the world to show that the mental health of their employees matters.
The very relevant theme this year is loneliness. We know the power that connection and relationships has on us all, at home and at work. However, isolation is on the increase. The pandemic and remote working has only made things more acute for many of us.
