***WEBINAR*** SERC Launch Mind Yourself initiative

SERC is delighted to launch their brand new Mind Yourself campaign – an initiative led by SERC, in partnership with Health Matters to raise awareness and promote health and wellbeing in the workplace.

To mark the launch a special webinar about the programme has been produced. Click to watch.

College Management recognise the importance of looking after the emotional and physical wellbeing of all employees and have signed up to Health Matters Register of Intent to show their commitment to supporting staff.  

The initiative is a follow-up to last year’s health programme with various workshops set up to promote cancer awareness, mental health, healthy eating, smoking and physical activity. Staff also benefited from monthly newsletters promoting top tips and information on how to keep healthy.     

“We have numerous activities planned to engage staff and get people thinking and talking about their health and wellbeing,” says Chief Human Resources Officer Paul Smyth. “We fully recognize that providing support and assistance to our employees to look after their health and well-being is crucial if SERC is to continue to provide a high standard of education. Implementing this initiative will be one of the most important elements to ensuring that staff continue to flourish and will offer great opportunities to get active, build resilience, chill out and meet new friends, so I’d encourage everyone to take part.”

Research from last year’s staff survey confirmed the need for a focus on health and wellbeing needs among staff and identified the need for more robust health and wellness support.
