Finding our way to wellbeing
Mental Health Awareness Week is a pretty important date in the calendar for us here at Eleven.
Be active
Keep learning
Learning new skills isn’t just good for your brain – it can also be really enjoyable and bring great a sense of fulfilment. We know the importance of upskilling here at Eleven, which is why each and every member of our team is enrolled on a personal learning and development plan.
We offer our team access to a range of fantastic learning and training resources including Skillshare, Agency Hackers and HubSpot. Ongoing learning and development ensures that we as a team are not only sharing best practice, but also keeping the service we provide to our clients current and relevant. Sharing knowledge cross-discipline also aids in collaborative and more considerate working.
Give
Giving encapsulates many things – from showing goodwill and generosity of spirit to giving presents and giving up our time. Evidence suggests that ‘giving back’ or helping others promotes wellbeing for all ages. In our case, everyone in the team was given an hour of their working week back to enjoy an outdoor activity of their choice, as one of the ways of looking after their wellbeing this week. We also found ourselves pleasantly surprised with an unexpected package of sweet treats that was sent in the post to every member of staff at the start of the week. It was a really simple act but provided a really uplifting start to our working week.
