The We-are-HR November 2024 Newsletter

Dear Readers,

How was your November?

We’ve been diving headfirst into the festive spirit with a thrilling team Christmas event at an Escape Room! Picture this: the notorious Joker broke free, unleashing chaos on the Dark City with a ticking time bomb, and it was up to us to save the day! Armed with wit, teamwork, and a sprinkle of holiday cheer, we tackled the infamous Joker’s Trap. It was no walk in the park—those clues were as tricky as they come! While we cracked 13 out of 15 clues, the excitement and camaraderie made it a win for the team. What an unforgettable adventure to kick off the holidays! 🎄🏚️

We continued the festive celebrations in style at our annual Christmas dinner, and wow, did the restaurant deliver! From Vegan delights to Gluten-Free goodies and Halal-friendly feasts, they pulled out all the stops to satisfy our wonderfully diverse tastes. It was a Christmas culinary adventure that brought us all together – plates full, spirits high, and not a single request left unmet. Cheers to great food, inclusivity, and a night to remember! 🍜❄️

This year, we had even more reason to celebrate with a fantastic promotion in the team! Muaaz Abid, our star Business Development Consultant, has officially levelled up to Business Manager! A huge congratulations to Muaaz for this well-deserved achievement – his hard work, dedication, and drive have truly paid off. Here’s to even more success and milestones ahead! 🚀👏

Here’s to more growth, more smiles, and more success stories ahead!

Webinar Insights

We hosted our yearly, much-anticipated Winter Wellbeing Webinar! Hosted by the fabulous Dr Jo Burrell, a renowned wellbeing expert (a seasoned clinical psychologist and co-founder of Ultimate Resilience, bringing decades of experience in mental health and wellbeing), the session was a breath of fresh air. Jo brought her signature energy and expertise to deliver an interactive, insightful session packed with practical advice on building resilience—just what we needed as the Christmas hustle and bustle sets in! From managing stress to finding moments of calm, Jo left us feeling empowered and ready to take on the festive season with a smile.

Our Key takeaways were:

  • Resilience involves proactive skills to manage and prevent stress, focusing on building psychological strength.
  • Positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, and serenity are essential for combating stress and fostering optimism.
  • Noticing and appreciating small positive moments in daily life can significantly enhance emotional resilience.
  • Sharing positive experiences can spread joy and help build stronger social connections.
  • Negative emotions narrow focus for survival, while positive emotions broaden perspective and encourage creativity.
  • Journaling three positive events daily helps shift focus from negativity to positivity.
  • Engaging in hobbies and connecting with loved ones creates opportunities for positive emotions.
  • The presence of positive emotions is more important for resilience than the absence of negative emotions.
We were thrilled to receive some great feedback at the end of the session!

“This has been really interesting, thank you Jo!” – Aimee Heaton
