Overview

Join us and a variety of expert guests for our new regular webinar series, 'Navigating turbulent times', where we delve into today’s greatest challenges, tackle your questions and concerns, and help our profession navigate through these stormy waters.

‘Navigating turbulent times’ episode seven: ‘Remote yet connected: wellbeing during COVID-19’

Join us live on Thursday 28 May for episode seven of ‘Navigating turbulent times’ where we will tackle wellbeing in the times of COVID-19.

Work is key to our wellbeing with a safe and pleasant working environment regarded as an essential component of a good job. However, research tells us that over half of the nation’s employees say their working environment has a negative effect on their mental health. It's arguable that mental wellbeing concerns have never been higher on the agenda now that the pandemic is turning traditional working set ups upside-down.

With responsibility for employee wellbeing covering all workplaces, including beyond the traditional office, and the role of the workplace and facilities professional at the forefront of this evolution, this episode will explore questions such as how can we stay mindful and balanced in unpredictable times, especially when working from home? And how can our profession best help organisations shape an effective wellbeing response?

‘Remote yet connected: wellbeing during COVID-19' will be hosted by Nicola Lathbury, managing director of Hexagon FM, and chair of both Women in FM SIG (WIFM) and IWFM Midlands Region. The experts joining her on the panel are shown below.

You can submit your questions live during the webinar or email us ahead of time via: [email protected]
