Run, row, or ride for National Mental Health Awareness Week
During Mental Health Awareness Week 2024, this event promoted physical activity and mental well-being through running, rowing, and cycling. It successfully raised over £7000 for the Mental Health Foundation, attracted diverse participation, and fostered team spirit. The innovative use of gamified collective goals and indoor static machines ensured inclusivity and safety. This initiative exemplifies our commitment to health, safety, and well-being, setting a new standard for workplace wellness programs. Moreover, it highlights the importance of fostering a positive workplace culture. By encouraging physical activity and mental health awareness, we have created an environment where employees feel supported, connected, and motivated.

A great practice guide for staff retention
In a collaborative effort across the place sector and in partnership with ADEPT, we launched a campaign to boost the retention of our industry’s skilled and experienced people. Following thorough research into the diverse needs of sector employees, we developed the retention toolkit, the Great Practice Guide. This toolkit offers practical examples and innovative strategies to tackle retention challenges related to training, professional development, mentoring, and working conditions. Our approach aims to empower local authorities across the UK to enhance their competitiveness in attracting top talent, effectively addressing the significant issues of staff shortages and high vacancy rates.
