Sorry for being quiet on here. A month ago today, my dad suddenly and completely unexpectedly passed away. Sometimes it feels like a minutes, sometimes a year, sometimes yesterday. There is just no rhyme or reason to grief.

'Work pushed me to the edge - but Suffolk Mind helped me no end' Public sector worker Martyn

It is great to see that Suffolk Mind and the Work Well Service was able to help this individual...but #work should not be pushing people to the edge. This is why #goodwork matters and psychosocial assessments of the #workplace should happen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #TimeToTalk #wellbeing #HR

Really pleased to have been able to chat to HR Magazine this morning about this IES research - such interesting findings that really does have a call to action to reduce the ill-health and employment gap that currently exists in the UK - what can/should we learn from other countries?

A huge pleasure to be invited to speak on this #Workplace #Wellbeing #podcast (evolveworkplacewellbeing.buzzsprout.com/2109567/epis...) about #LineManagement following this publication (amazon.co.uk/How-Line-Man...). Line Management Matters and organisations and policy should take it seriously

Really interesting paper about how #employers are responding to the #CarersLeaveAct: www.employersforcarers.org/media/znfdhk... Some positive steps being shown to help #unpaidcares in #employment - but more still needs to be done.
