Focus on Wellbeing – National Work Life Week

We celebrated National Work Life Week 2021 with a series of activities for employees, focussing on their wellbeing and their work-life balance.

The National Work Life Week is an initiative whereby employers can showcase their flexible working practices and provide activities for their staff that help to put under the spotlight creating the right culture for flexibility and retaining a diverse workforce.
