Did you see our new research released for My Whole Self Day reveals that 30% of employees feel their organization sometimes rejects differences, and 9% don’t feel respected by their team? Conducted with Henley Business School the study shows a significant drop in employees feeling they can be their true selves at work, from 66% in 2020 to just 41% in 2024, as EDI initiatives face cuts at major companies like Google and Amazon. This lack of authenticity is linked to decreased productivity, mental health, and engagement.

We are now midway through Ramadan, a time of deep reflection, spiritual renewal, and connection. Many who observe Ramadan may be feeling a mix of emotions, gratitude for the journey so far, anticipation for the final days, and a sense of renewal. For employees who are fasting while balancing work commitments, this period can bring both spiritual rewards and physical challenges. Workplaces play a key role in ensuring their colleagues feel supported, understood, and included. Simple, thoughtful adjustments can make a significant difference in helping employees navigate work during this time. Read our latest community blog on how workplaces can support staff during Ramadan: https://brnw.ch/21wRp5d (Image description: Two women wearing headscarves in a professional setting.

In the high-pressure, high-risk world of yachting and seafaring, mental health support has long been overlooked. The nature of the industry - long periods of isolation, demanding work conditions, and a lack of access to external support makes it uniquely challenging for crew members to maintain their mental wellbeing. Recognising this urgent need, SEAS THE MIND founded by experienced seafarers Emma Ross and Mel White, is leading the charge in integrating mental health first aid training into the yachting sector.
